Garver entered Thursday's win over the Tigers as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and singled in his one plate appearance.
Garver was on the bench to start the night for the third time in the last four games, but he delivered when called upon in the eighth. The struggling veteran now has hits in back-to-back games, but the 0-for-19 stretch that immediately preceded that pair of contests is a microcosm of a nightmarish debut campaign in Seattle that sees him carrying a .170 average and career-low .623 OPS through 94 games.
