Chicago — In professional sports, it’s all about taking advantage of your opportunity.
Bryan Garcia has been given one the last week, or so, and he’s doing something with it.
Garcia has had the chance to close two of the last three games the Tigers have had a shot to win, and he’s done so.
With several Tigers relievers struggling, or just too inconsistent right now, , Garcia has slid into the closer role for the time being.
And most importantly, he’s taking advantage of the chance.
“Not necessarily, but I guess you could say yes by the way we’ve put him in the last couple of times, or at least thought about it,” said manager Ron Gardenhire, as to whether Garcia is his closer.
