Algodoneros Hurler Named LFM's #1 Starter Wednesday, August 1st , 1888 In July, when the name of Augurio Garcia appeared on the San Agustin lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 8 times and chalked up 6 wins and 1 loss. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the Liga Fronteriza Mexicana Pitcher of the Month. Garcia shackled opposing batters on 50 base hits and a .183 batting average. He rang up 56 strikeouts in 73.1 innings of work, surrendered 13 walks and fashioned a sparkling 1.96 ERA. Garcia has gone 24-8 this season with an ERA of 1.66 and 214 strikeouts in 298.1 innings pitched. Other clubs are hitting .187 against him. |
