Jaime Garcia One of Few Bright Spots for Struggling Cardinals
Posted on | September 4, 2010 |
ST. LOUIS - Jaime Garcia must be the front-runner in a crowded field for NL Rookie of the Year, but it’s understandable if his name isn’t the first that comes to mind.
Garcia, it seems, stopped being a rookie a while ago.
The Cardinals handed Garcia the ball in the first game of their must-win series against the first-place Reds on Friday, and he delivered, just as he has all season. Garcia gave up two runs and got into the seventh inning of the Cardinals’ 3-2 victory. His earned-run average actually went up to 2.35, and he improved his record to 13-6.
“Off the top of my head, more than half of them have been clutch, important games,” Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said, trying to run through his rookie’s 13 victories in his mind. “He’s been really consistent. He’s pitched very well. He kept his composure. He’s had an outstanding season.”
