Garton's nine earned runs given up this season have come over just three outings and he was highly effective again Wednesday, putting together his 13th scoreless effort in 17 appearances with two innings of perfect ball against the Royals.
The 26-year-old has proven to be largely dependable save for the aforementioned trio of appearances where he's run into trouble. Garton has tended to falter in rather significant fashion on those occasions, but conversely, has been highly effective in his other trips to the mound. The right-hander has given up only nine hits over 14.1 innings in those 13 scoreless appearances, while also recording 16 whiffs.
