“#Deivi Garcia\u2019s scoreless Yankees outing plagued by walks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

TAMPA \u2014 Deivi Garcia didn\u2019t have his pinpoint command Friday night.<\/p>\n

Instead the right-hander, who is competing with Domingo German for the fifth spot in the Yankees\u2019 rotation, made the best of a tough situation. Despite walking four batters, including three in the first inning to load the bases, Garcia worked himself out of jams to finish with three scoreless, hitless innings in the Yankees\u2019 4-1 loss to the Phillies at George M. Steinbrenner Field.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother outing you get to learn a lot from,\u201d Garcia said through an interpreter. \u201cHow important execution can be, especially when you\u2019re pitching and you\u2019re throwing certain pitches near the zone. Those close pitches can go either way. When you find yourself in an outing like that and you end up walking some guys, you have to find a way to execute and get out of those jams. The learning experience, how to navigate that, it\u2019s a key there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia had walked just two batters through his first eight innings (three starts) of Grapefruit League play, entering Friday. He eclipsed that mark in the first inning alone, with all three of his walks coming on full counts to load the bases with one out.<\/p>\n

But after a meeting on the mound with catcher Gary Sanchez and pitching coach Matt Blake, the 21-year-old Garcia got out of the inning unscathed, getting Odubel Herrera to fly out to shallow left field and striking out Andrew Knapp<\/a> looking.<\/p>\n

Garcia led the second inning off with another full-count walk \u2014 with all four of his walks coming after getting ahead 0-2 or 1-2. But he recovered by retired the final six batters he faced in a row. He threw 56 pitches on the night, but only needed 11 to cruise through his last inning.<\/p>\n
