Jon Garland is the first pitcher to eight wins, defeating the Texas Rangers 5-2 with help from his bullpen. Garland was throwing strikes tonight. Only 31 of his 102 pitches were called balls.

The big change in Garland continues to be keeping the ball in the park. He's only allowed 3 home runs this season in 59 2/3 innings; last season he gave up 34 in 217 innings. If he maintains this rate for the year, he'd allow around 12 homers.
