Pitching to Contact

Freddy Garcia did a good job of getting the Rangers to put the ball in play to the Yankees fielders as he allowed two hits during his six shutout innings of work, and the Yankees defeat the Raners 5-2. Garica made his first start of the season as the Yankees have not needed a fifth starter until today. He’s no longer the power pitcher of his youth, but with good location, he succeed in keeping the Rangers hitters off balance. I also suspect the cold, rainy weather made it tough on the hitters as well.
