One Last Thing
Jaime Garcia makes his debut for the Twins against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. It will mark only the second appearance of his career for Garcia against the Athletics, and it will be the first game he’s ever pitched in Oakland’s home ballpark. Adding in the A’s ballpark will give Garcia 25 that he’s pitched in for his career. If the rotation holds the rest of the season and Garcia doesn’t miss a start, he could add 4 more stadiums to his list (Detroit, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Cleveland).
