Secures eighth save Garcia earned a save against the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over a scoreless inning of work.

Impact Texas held a one-run lead heading into the ninth frame and turned to Garcia to close things out. He allowed a leadoff single but then retired the next three batters in order (including the final two by strikeout) to notch the save. Garcia has two saves among his three outings so far in the second half and appears to be strengthening his hold on the Rangers' closer role. Over his past 16 outings dating back to June 8, the left-hander has posted a 1.80 ERA with a 20:7 K:BB across 15 frames while converting five of six save opportunities.

Turns in seventh save Garcia picked up the save in Friday's 2-0 win over Detroit, allowing one hit and no walks during a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

Impact While Garcia did allow the possible tying run to get to the plate, he was able to hang on for his seventh save of the season. The Rangers' high-leverage mix has been in a state of flux for most of the year, although it appears that Garcia remains the club's favorite for saves for the time being. Over his last 13 innings, the left-hander holds a 2.08 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB.

Fails to close things out Garcia was pulled in favor of Shawn Armstrong in the ninth inning of Saturday's 7-4 win over San Diego with two outs and the bases loaded..

Impact Garcia began the ninth inning with the most favorable save situation of a three-run lead and empty bases, but the Padres chipped away and had the winning run at the plate with two outs. Manager Bruce Bochy had seen enough and chose to go with a righty-righty matchup for what turned out to be the final batter when Armstrong got Xavier Bogaerts to ground out to end the game. Garcia does have six saves this season and is still the team's top option to close things out, but he doesn't have much of a previous pedigree as a closer and is more prone to decisions like this when he can't take care of things cleanly.

Picks up sixth save Garcia struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Tuesday to record his sixth save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Orioles.

Impact Luke Jackson worked 1.1 scoreless innings in front of him to collect the win, and Garcia was dominant to secure the save -- after the phantom runner advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt, the southpaw struck out Dylan Carlson and got Jackson Holliday to fly out weakly to right field to end things, tossing seven of his nine pitches for strikes overall. Jackson appears to have worked his way back into the highest-leverage mix, collecting a win, a save and two holds over his last five appearances, but Garcia is still manager Bruce Bochy's preferred closing option for the moment despite blowing two of his last seven save chances. During that 10-appearance span, Garcia's posted a shaky 4.82 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Works around trouble for fifth save Garcia picked up the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox, giving up one hit and two walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact It was the fifth save of the season for Garcia, who did make things interesting by loading the bases before recording the final out of the game. The 29-year-old left-hander has begun to see an increase in save opportunities in the Texas bullpen, although the results have been shaky so far. Garcia has gone 4-for-6 in save chances over his last 6.2 innings, during which he owns an 8.10 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB.

Rebounds for fourth save Garcia earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Impact Garcia set down James Wood to close out the eighth inning before coming back out for the ninth, working around Nathaniel Lowe's one-out double by striking out the final two batters to lock down his fourth save this year. It was a strong effort from Garcia, after he allowed three runs on four hits in a blown save against the Rays in his last appearance. Overall, Garcia sports a 3.12 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB across 26 innings this season.

Blows save versus Rays Garcia (1-3) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 defeat versus the Rays.

Impact Garcia may have been rusty, as he had not pitched since May 28 versus the Blue Jays. This was his first blown save since appearing to take over the closer role in late May, but he has allowed six runs over his his last 5.1 innings. The 28-year-old is at a 3.28 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB while adding three saves, 10 holds and two blown saves over 24.2 innings this season. The Rangers' bullpen situation continues to be somewhat fluid, so Garcia is unlikely to suddenly lose all of his high-leverage work, but he'll need to improve to be a long-term option in the ninth inning.

Grabs third save Tuesday Garcia picked up the save in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Toronto after throwing a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

Impact Garcia's usage is certainly becoming noteworthy -- he worked the ninth inning in his second straight outing in favor of Luke Jackson, who was called upon for the eighth frame Tuesday. Given Jackson's struggles this season -- he has a 4.86 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 16.2 innings -- it wouldn't be surprising to see Garcia receive additional save opportunities in the future. Although the Rangers' bullpen could remain a committee approach as it pertains to ninth-inning work, Garcia sports a 2.35 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB while converting three of his four save chances over 23 frames.
