Jon Garland's on the mound for the visitors, 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in 3 postseason starts, having walked 6 and given up 13 hits (two home runs) in 11 innings. When he's snapping off curves and complementing his average fastball with an above average changeup, Garland can rack up the easy fly ball outs, but a little lapse of control can lead to those balls getting blasted over the fence real quickly.
Between May 24th and July 27th this season, Jon Garland went 10-0 over 13 starts, in part due to dumb luck and in part due to keeping the ball in the park, walk numbers down and baserunners out of scoring position. It's a simple game but it sure ain't easy.
Come on, Jonny boy!
