Jaime Garcia gets hard-luck loss against Nats Sunday
by Steve Painter | Sun, May 21st 6:11pm EDT
Jaime Garcia allowed seven hits and three runs (one earned) while walking none and striking out eight over eight innings against the Nationals Sunday in Atlanta. The three runs were all the Nationals needed behind the strong effort of Stephen Strasburg, as the Braves' fell 3-2. With the loss, Garcia' record stands at 1-3 on the year. He will pitch again on Friday against Matt Cain and the Giants in San Fransisco.
Fantasy Impact:
The was Garcia' longest outing thus far and it was really outstanding. He has had problems with walking batters (4.07 BB/9) and today issued no free passes. His strikeouts today (8) were well above his K/9 ratio 6.10. If he is able to string together some games like this or even regain some consistency he will become more viable in some fantasy formats.
