SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. - — Jason Gurka is a blip on the radar screen of Major League Baseball. His stats read like a modern day Field of Dreams "Moonlight Graham" character, with barely any service time.
Though he has less than 20 big league apperances, he has one claim to fame, and is looking to push his name out of obscurity and into the Rockies bullpen.
On Wednesday against San Francisco he took a step toward doing just that, accomplishing the rare feat of striking out four batters in one inning. Gurka relieved Chad Qualls in the eighth inning and struck out Mac Williamson for the first out.
