Garcia finally makes his season debut

One year ago today on DotF, the trio of Ivan Nova, Zach McAllister & Mark Melancon combined for 19 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 16 K, 27-13 GB/FB on the night.

Marc Carig penned a piece on Austin Jackson and his transition to Triple-A. Make sure you check it out. Oh, and Carmen Angelini has been demoted to Extended Spring Training. Can’t say I’m surprised, I hope he turns it around.

Triple-A Scranton had a scheduled off day, as did the rest of the International League.
