Fantasy Impact

Garcia allowed seven hits and a walk in the first two innings of the game, falling behind 4-0 early. He then settled in and cruised through the next four innings but the damage was already done. Houston's offense could not solve Guardians starter Cal Quantrill, who pitched extremely well. The Astros righty will try to get back on track with a splendid home matchup vs. the A's next time out.

Unfortunately, Nathan Eovaldi out-dueled Garcia, as Houston fell 3-2. Nevertheless, it's another solid performance from the 25-year-old righty. The loss dropped him to 8-7 but he has pitched much better than his record suggests. Garcia will look to get back on the right side of the ledger at Cleveland next time out.

It wasn't all bad, as Garcia struck out seven in the effort. He allowed all four runs to cross in the 3rd inning on a Chad Pinder grand slam. He danced in and out of trouble the rest of the time. The righty will look to right the ship next time out against the Red Sox at home.
