CLEVELAND – Reds left-handed reliever Amir Garrett doesn’t make excuses for giving up five runs and three walks in his last two outings.
“We’re all professional athletes,” Garrett said. “You just have to find a way to get your job done.”
In both appearances, all the damage happened in his second inning on the mound.
He pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Monday’s win over the Cleveland Indians. In the ninth, he issued a leadoff walk and surrendered a two-run homer to Jason Kipnis.
Garrett entered Saturday’s game against the Chicago Cubs in the seventh inning and completed the frame with two strikeouts and a fly out.
