Congratulations to Conor Jackson, who just won his first NL Player of the Week award! Over the week of April 14-20, the 25-year-old Jackson hit .480 (12-for-25), with two doubles, three home runs and had NL-highs with 10 RBIs and 10 runs scored. In addition, he had a 1.080 slugging percentage and a .519 on-base percentage.

Jackson ranks first in the Majors in runs scored (18), fourth in batting average (.377) and slugging percentage (.717) and sixth in on-base percentage (.469).

I think we found our cleanup hitter.

D’Backs pitcher Dan Haren was among the nominees.
