Avisail Garcia continues to hit in the middle of the order while battling injuries and a slump.
Rick Renteria has him in the No. 5 spot again today despite Garcia having only two hits in his last 34 at-bats and being homerless since Aug. 5.
Nicky Delmonico, who has homered in the last two games, is hitting behind Garcia.
Renteria said Friday he doesn’t think a right knee injury is impacting Garcia. He feels like he’s “not seeing the ball well’’ in recent games.
