Luis Garcia Going On Short Rest In Game 6
3 years agoThe Houston Astros will turn to rookie right-hander Luis Garcia on short rest to start Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. Reliever Kendall Graveman, who threw 37 pitches over two innings in the team's Game 5 win, is the only relief pitcher that won't be available in Game 6. Jose Urquidy pitched an inning in relief in Game 5 on Sunday and will likely be the Game 7 starter (if necessary) if he's not used in Game 6. Garcia threw 72 pitches in 3 1/3 innings in the Game 3 loss. Manager Dusty Baker also said that backup catcher Jason Castro is unlikely to be activated from the COVID-19 list for the final two games of the World Series after he was ruled out for Game 4.
