Jacobson Brilliant, Fans 15
Everything was working for James Jacobson today at Louisville Slugger Field. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The splitter was working.

In an unforgettable performance, the 19-year-old Jacobson fanned 15 Royals and sparked the Louisville Redbirds to a 4-1 victory over Montreal. He left Royals hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.

"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Louisville manager Adrian Shaffer. "His location and command were really something."

In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 7.2 innings, Jacobson allowed 7 hits and 2 walks in a superlative outing.

"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Jacobson said with a smile.

So far this year Jacobson has 5 wins and 4 losses and a 4.29 ERA.
