Perfect at the plate in win Garcia went 2-for-2 with three walks, four runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

Impact Garcia was a pest all game, scoring four runs and swiping his third bag of the season. It was an encouraging effort for the 24-year-old, who is slashing just .206/.271/.302 with one home run, five RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals across 70 plate appearances this season. While his slow start and tendency to sit against lefties have been discouraging, a solid 6:8 BB:K suggests he can turn things around.

Impact Garcia turned on a Brandon Pfaadt fastball for a first-inning two-run homer Friday, snapping an 0-for-13 skid over his prior four appearances. The lefty-hitting Garcia has just three hits and no walks in 21 plate appearances to begin the season, but he should remain on the strong side of a platoon with the righty-hitting Amed Rosario for at-bats at second base going forward.
