Houston Astros Jose Altuve during a Detroit Tigers pitching change during the seventh inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, May 6, 2022 in Houston.During the first inning of his most dominant start this season, Luis Garcia fulfilled a lifelong dream. He shares a common trait with many Venezuelans around his age, a love for one of their country’s most accomplished ambassadors and the best baseball player it has ever produced.
With one more double, Cabrera will join Pujols and Aaron as the only three men to total 3,000 hits, 500 home runs and 600 doubles. Garcia remains in awe of the accomplishments, but did not want to be responsible for it. He fired a first-pitch fastball to his boyhood idol. Friday demonstrated just how lethal it can be. Garcia overpowered Detroit with a steady diet of cutters, carving them up in one of his most masterful major league performances. Garcia matched his career-high with nine strikeouts. He yielded one earned run across seven impressive innings, lowering his ERA to 3.45 while prolonging an awesome run of starting pitching. Garcia's was the team's ninth quality start in the last 12 games. The rotation has a 1.97 ERA during that span.
