Many people don’t believe in moral victories, but we didn’t give up 9 runs in 1 inning due to multiple botched fielding attempts. That’s a moral victory. In all seriousness, Jaime Garcia had another very good start, and has emerged as Jair Jurrjens-esque staff ace with poor peripherals. He went 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, and 2 K. He still has a 3.9 BB/9 on the year with a 5.8 K/9, so one has to wonder if this will continue. When we acquired the three veteran SPs, you would have been reasonable to assume one would pitch really well, one would be mediocre at best, and one would be either injured or terrible.
