HOUSTON -- The Astros are turning to rookie Luis Garcia, pitching on short rest, to stave off elimination from the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday.
Manager Dusty Baker said it's Garcia's turn to throw, and that he can always rely on a rested bullpen if things go poorly for the 24-year-old.
"We think that he's the best for the job," Baker said Monday afternoon. "We realize that he has a short leash, but then everybody out there has a short leash and operating on low rest or not full rest.
