Luis Garcia converts the save in first chance since the Padres removed Taylor Rogers from the role
With Taylor Rogers at least temporarily removed from the closer’s role, Padres manager Bob Melvin expects to feel his way through save situations.
The next pitch was an 83 mph slider that Beckham flailed at helplessly as Garcίa converted his first save since Sept. 30, 2021 and just the ninth of his career. He struggled in June , but is sitting on a 3.23 ERA and a 42-to-12 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his first 39 innings with the Padres.“Well it’s the end of the game, but for me it’s an inning,” Garcίa said. “If you threw the fifth or the sixth, you just have go do your job and help the team the best you can.
The 26-year-old right-hander threw a perfect ninth inning Saturday that was essentially garbage time — to everyone but Báez. Báez underwent his elbow reconstruction shortly after the season of the season, roughly a month before friend and fellow Cuban Adrián Morejón, who beat Báez back to the majors by nearly two months due in large part to regaining his velocity quicker than Báez.
