This article is an indictment of me. Let me just start with that disclaimer.
I’ll explain why in a second, but first let me give you the heart of the article.
Jarlin García entered the game having appeared in 17 games and pitched 17 innings. In those 17 innings he’d allowed no earned runs. He’d faced 63 batters and he’d allowed just six hits. As you could probably surmise from the lack of earned runs, none of those six hits were home runs.
The San Francisco Giants turned to García in the sixth inning of their Wednesday game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
