Rico Garcia Locks Down Third Save as Emerging Orioles Closer

Rico Garcia pitched a perfect ninth inning on 14 pitches to record the save in Baltimore's 2-1 victory over the New York Mets. It marks Garcia's third save in six days, establishing him as the Orioles' primary closer in the absence of Ryan Helsley, who remains on a rehab assignment after missing over two months. Garcia retired the side in order with nine strikes to secure the low-scoring win without drama.
