I'm going to continue playing for the Marlins. These days, Garrett is throwing effectively and should be able to put the team in a position where they can compete well. In his last three starts, Garrett has a record of 2-0 with just three earned runs allowed on a total of 18.0 innings pitched, 10 hits, and two walks. During the game on Sunday, Miami struggled offensively and had a couple of rough innings. They were unable to get much going at the plate. Following their victory in the series against the New York Yankees, St. Louis is in red-hot form; therefore, Miami will require a strong effort to rebound in the first game.
