Impact Garcia has now posted back-to-back scoreless outings after a brief skid where he allowed four runs (three earned) across three appearances.

He's added a save and two holds, but he remains more likely to pitch in the middle innings.

Dealt loss Saturday Garcia (0-2) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one-third of an inning, taking the loss versus Philadelphia on Saturday.
Impact The 28-year-old gave up the go-ahead home run to Ronald Torreyes in the sixth inning, and Zack Littell allowed an inherited runner to score after Garcia exited the game. Entering Saturday, Garcia hadn't given up a run in his last 11 innings. He has a 3.80 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB across 23.2 innings this season. Despite the solid work, the southpaw is unlikely to see anything more than low-leverage work.

Logs clean inning Garcia pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout in a 2-1 win over Washington in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact Garcia followed opener Connor Menez in the bullpen game. The strategy worked for San Francisco, as only Caleb Baragar allowed a run (unearned) in the eighth inning of the game. Garcia has a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB across 22.1 innings this season. He's picked up a save, a blown save and two holds, but the lefty is likely to see mainly low-leverage work.

Notches first save Garcia pitched 1-2-3 10th inning with no strikeouts to save Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
Impact Garcia got the save opportunity because typical back-end pieces Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers had already been exhausted. Garcia pitched an easy 10th to secure the San Francisco win. Though he pitched well Friday, a 4.41 ERA suggests more save opportunities probably aren't in his future.

Dealing with groin strain Garcia was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.
Impact Garcia has thrown 6.1 innings out of the Giants' bullpen this season, though he's struggled to be effective as he has an 8.53 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with a 9:5 K:BB. He was expected to serve in a relatively high-leverage role for the club, though his struggles may change the way he is deployed upon his return.

Takes loss in extras Garcia (0-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out one in 0.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday to the Marlins.
Impact Garcia entered the bottom of the 10th inning for a save opportunity in a one-run game. Needing only one more out, Garcia surrendered a two-run double from Jorge Alfaro to end the game. The 28-year-old has made four relief appearances this season and has allowed at least one run in three of them.

Rocky first appearance Garcia allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one in one-third of an inning to earn a hold in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Mariners.
Impact While Garcia earned a hold in his first appearance, it was anything but a smooth process. Both batters he put on base with walks came around to score after Tyler Rogers entered the game. Garcia was excellent last season with a 0.49 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 18.1 innings, but there's little chance he performs near that level. Nonetheless, he'll likely play a role in the late innings to begin 2021, although he's not expected to see many save chances.
