Jaime Garcia tossed seven innings of shutout ball but took a no-decision in the Cardinals' loss to the Brewers on Sunday.

Garcia gave up seven hits and two walks but worked around jams effectively all afternoon. He struck out five and would have picked up his second win of the season but the Cardinals bullpen blew a 3-0 lead. Garcia, 26, owns a 1.86 ERA and has fanned 19 batters in 19 1/3 innings this season. He's been a fantasy steal so far.

Jaime Garcia struck out 10 while allowing three runs over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision Monday versus the Reds.

He permitted six hits and walked three, exiting with the lead before the Cards' bullpen blew it. Garcia's 10 strikeouts tied a career high. The lefty entered spring training with questions about the health of his pitching shoulder, but he was great in Grapefruit League play and it's carried over with a 2.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in his first two starts. He'll face the Brewers this weekend.

Jaime Garcia limited the Diamondbacks to one run and two hits in 5 2/3 innings to pick up a win Tuesday.

Miguel Montero's homer was the only run the Diamondbacks managed in a 6-1 loss. Garcia's long-term health remains a question mark after last year's shoulder injury, but he's looking plenty good right now. He shouldn't be unowned in any mixed leagues.

Facing strictly minor leaguers, Jaime Garcia pitched eight innings of one-run ball as the Cardinals beat a Nationals split-squad 10-1 on Wednesday.

Not only did the Nationals decline to bring any major leaguers with them today, they didn't even bring any of their best prospects. That allowed Garcia to cruise in his final tuneup of the spring. He struck out eight and walked none.

Garcia struck out five and walked one in his latest encouraging outing. With no shoulder setbacks at all this spring, he's looking like a decent enough mixed-league starter, at least for the early part of the season.
