Luis Garcia Picks Up Save For Padres
2 years agoSan Diego Padres reliever Luis Garcia recorded his third save of the season on Saturday, closing out his team's 2-1 win over the Nationals. With Josh Hader struggling in the closing role as of late, manager Bob Melvin stated the team would go with a committee approach moving forward, and Garcia was the arm summoned for tonight's opportunity. He retired the first man he faced, but went on to allow a single and a hit batsmen before getting an inning-ending double play to seal the win. Garcia has posted a serviceable 3.40 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 48 K through 45 IP, and would only serve as a fantasy option for managers who are desperate for saves down the stretch run.
