Jackson Elderkin put in work no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Elderkin was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
