Jaime Garcia allowed four earned runs over six innings Wednesday as the Braves fell to the Astros. Garcia issued five walks and surrendered six hits in the ugly afternoon outing at Minute Maid Park. The 30-year-old left-hander now stands 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 35 1/3 innings (six starts) with Atlanta.
From Rotoworld.com: Marco Estrada struck out eight Mariners while allowing two runs over six innings in a win Thursday. Things were a little precarious early, as Estrada served up a two-run home run to Nelson Cruz in the first inning, but he settled down to hold the M’s off the board for the rest of his time. It was the third time in eight starts this year that the right-hander has struck out eight or more, and he’s now got 53 strikeouts through 49 innings of work. Overall, Estrada is 2-2 with a 3.12 ERA and 1.16 WHIP.
