Very nice line on Garcia's first start at AAA.
Only 82 pitches to get through 6 innings.
3 fly balls, 9 ground balls, 6 K's, 0 walks, 0 extra base hits.
Only concern -- the lead-off batter singled in 4 of the 6 innings.
But -- a very good sign -- his last inning, he set
them down 1, 2, 3, on a pop out and 2 ground outs.
Looks like Mather is in a groove -- both offensively and defensively.
He might well be the first OF who gets called up if anyone
in StL is injured or traded.
