| News: Garza got beat on the road again Sunday by the Pirates, giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits (including three homers) and a walk, striking out six over five innings. After the game, manager Dale Sveum criticized Garza's pitch selection, the Chicago Tribune reports. | Impact: Garza's first homer allowed came on his changeup, his "fourth best pitch." "It was not exactly protocol, or what the game plan was," Sveum said. "It's unfortunate. They hit them out of the ballpark. I guess a lot of times they'll roll over on him too. But that's kind of the way things are going. Nobody is rolling over on anything." Sveum was highly critical of teammate Carlos Marmol's pitch selection earlier in the year, too. Garza dropped to 1-3 with a 7.20 ERA on the road.(RotoWire, ) |
