Garton struck out one and recorded his first save in a 4-2 victory over the Angels on Monday, allowing a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.
The 26-year-old put together his second consecutive scoreless appearance, following a forgettable June 30 outing versus the Tigers in which he gave up four earned runs without recording an out. Garton didn't exactly do it the easy way Monday after coming on with one out in the ninth. He issued a walk to Yunel Escobar before impressively getting Mike Trout looking for the second out of the inning while Escobar took second without a play. After an Albert Pujols infield single put runners at the corners, Garton was able to get the red-hot C.J. Cron to foul out to end the game. Outside of the aforementioned meltdown against Detroit, the young right-hander has scoreless appearances in four of his five trips to the mound since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on June 21.
