Notches second save Garcia worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless inning and record the save in Wednesday's win over the Astros. He struck out two.
Impact Garcia earned his second save of the season in as many chances, which leads the team, and he had to work for it. He entered the game with the bases loaded and no outs in the ninth inning following a poor showing from Jose Cisnero, but managed to only allow a single run as the Tigers escaped with the 6-4 win. Gregory Soto is the only other Detroit player with a save this season, and he was asked to navigate through the heart of the Houston order in the eighth. All three pitchers seem to be in the mix for saves at this point, but Garcia could earn more opportunities if he continues to excel in tough spots.

No runs allowed in limited work Garcia has tossed two scoreless innings in Grapefruit League action so far. He's allowed three hits and a walk with no strikeouts.
Impact Garcia, who's in the mix to close for Detroit, has been used sparingly so far this spring, so it's hard to take much away from his performance. He did register a solid 1.66 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 21.2 innings last season, though he struck out only 12 batters, so he doesn't profile as the typical overpowering end-game option. Gregory Soto is the other frontrunner to close for the Tigers, and the lefty does overpower hitters a bit more frequently, which may push Garcia to more of a setup role. The 25-year-old Garcia was second on the team with four saves last season.

In mix to close Garcia is one of several options to close out games for the Tigers to begin the season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Garcia pitched well across 21.2 innings in 2020, recording a 1.66 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, and he finished the year as Detroit's closer, registering four saves in six chances. Gregory Soto might have the best pure stuff in the team's bullpen, but it's unclear how exactly new manager A.J. Hinch will approach end-game decisions.
