Garcia saves day, picks up Utley

Utley's error put runners at the corners with one out. .

Seven pitches, six sliders, all strikes.

Game over.

"That was game saving, the moment of the game," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said.

"I was just throwing whatever Chooch [Carlos Ruiz] was calling," Garcia said. "He was calling slider, so I was throwing it. It was working, so why change it?"

Garcia pitched in the middle of some fine pitching performances against the Orioles, who scored 29 runs in the three previous days against the Phillies. Sean O'Sullivan got things started, allowing four hits, one run, two walks and struck out a career-high seven in five innings.
