Garza took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over six innings, striking out two.
His record falls to 4-10, and his ERA rises to 5.52 with another poor effort. Garza's now given up 20 runs (17 earned) and five home runs over his last three starts, and while his contract will keep him in the Brewers' rotation for now, there's little reason for you to make the same mistake on your fantasy roster. He'll next take the mound on Thursday in Philadelphia.

Garza was charged with 10 runs (seven earned) on 13 hits over 5.1 innings in a 10-4 loss to Colorado on Sunday. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.
The 31-year-old has now been batted around for 13 hits in back-to-back games, but unlike in his previous outing, Garza only allowed one home run Sunday. Instead, Garza was abused by a spattering of bloop hits and seeing-eye singles throughout the game, as the Rockies only recorded three extra-base hits during his time on the mound. While the rumor mill suggests Garza could be dealt before the deadline, his prolonged stretch of poor play might make a trade difficult for Milwaukee. He currently lines up to face the Twins on Saturday.

Garza was hammered Tuesday by the Royals, as he gave up six runs on 13 hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter.
Garza took his lumps as he threw 105 pitches to help out an overworked Brewers bullpen. He served up a pair of home runs and has now given up 13 in as many starts. Garza last posted an ERA above 4.00 in 2006 in a partial season with the Twins; his 2015 ERA is up to 5.07 after Tuesday's outing.

Garza pitched six innings Thursday against the Nationals, giving up five runs -- two earned -- and eight hits while collecting seven strikeouts.
Garza had a two game win streak heading into Thursday's outing, but the Nationals scored three unearned runs and left Garza with a no-decision. The 31-year-old, who had a rough May (a 6.34 ERA and four losses), has a 2.08 ERA and a 10:0 K:BB ratio in 13 innings in the month of June. He'll look to keep it going in his next start when he faces off against Kansas City on Tuesday.

Garza won his fourth game of the season Saturday, giving up just one run on six hits over seven innings. He struck out three.
After working five innings of emergency relief on May 31 in a 17-inning marathon against the Diamondbacks, Garza returned to the rotation with his best start in almost a month. He's still got a 5.09 ERA though, and his next scheduled turn on Thursday could be a tough one, at home against the Nationals.
Sun May 31 201518:57Matt Garza: Used in Emergency Relief Situation Sunday
Garza was used as a relief pitcher Sunday when the Brewers ran out of other competent arms to use at the start of the 13th inning. He will not make his start Monday, and it's unclear when Garza's next start will come.
Mike Fiers will have his start moved up from Tuesday to Monday. This move will make Fiers a two-start pitcher for the coming week, and Garza will be robbed of the two-start honor, so it might be best to remove Garza from weekly lineups in deep leagues if he's already slotted in there.
Sun May 31 201516:57Matt Garza: Used in Emergency Relief Situation Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza will not make his scheduled start Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals after being used in relief during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to the team's official site.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza will not make his scheduled start Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals after being used in relief during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to the team's official site. Garza entered the game in the 13th inning and earned a victory after the Brewers took the lead in the 17th. Mike Fiers will start in Garza's absence Monday, and it is unclear when Garza could next start. He threw five innings Sunday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out one en route to his third win of the season. Garza entered the game with a 2-7 record, 6.00 ERA and 45 strikeouts over 57 innings. He had allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts. The outing was Garza's first in relief since the 2007 season when he was a member of the Minnesota Twins.

Garza allowed five earned runs over five innings and took the loss as the Brewers fell to the Giants on Tuesday night. He allowed eight hits, including two home runs, and posted a 7:3 K:BB ratio in the game.
Garza was not on top of his game Tuesday, and he saw his ERA rise to 6.00 in the process. Most of that damage came in a May 16 start in which he allowed 10 earned runs, but he owns just a sub-par 4.70 ERA in his other nine starts. He will try to get on track in his next start against an Arizona squad that he has limited to 10 earned runs over 34.2 innings (2.60 ERA) in five starts since 2012.

Garza allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in 6.1 innings Thursday against the Braves.
Garza dropped to 0-4 with a 4.93 ERA in six career starts against Atlanta. He was coming off a 14-1 loss last Saturday in which he allowed 10 hits and 10 runs at the New York Mets. Garza's next start is scheduled for Tuesday against San Francisco.

Garza had a nightmare outing Saturday, allowing 10 earned runs in just 3.1 innings pitched in the 14-1 loss to the Mets on Saturday.
Garza allowed all 10 runs in the fourth innings including a grand slam to Wilmer Flores. This outing boosted his ERA to 5.72 and he'll look to lower that inflated ERA in his next start against Atlanta on Thursday.
Sun May 10 201518:15Garza pitched best game of season on Sunday against Cubs, striki...
Garza pitched his best game of the season on Sunday against the Cubs, striking out nine and walking three while allowing just one run in seven innings.
The veteran has really turned it around after a sub-par start to the season, throwing four consecutive quality starts and lowering his ERA to 4.04 in the process. Garza will look to continue his recent success against the Mets on Saturday.
Wed May 6 201501:03Garza gave up three earned runs on four hits and three walks wit...
Garza gave up three earned runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings Tuesday against the Dodgers.
It was a fine outing for Garza, he just happens to pitch for a team that struggles to score and he was going against an opposing pitcher (Zack Greinke) who is one of the hottest pitchers in the game. Garza has now given up three or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, although he is 2-3 over that stretch. Look for the Brewers to try to shop Garza to a contending team in the coming months, which could allow him to win a higher percentage of his starts.

Garza struck out six and walked two while holding the Cardinals to three runs on seven hits over six innings in a losing effort Friday.
A pair of long balls did most of the damage against Garza, who fell to 1-3 for the season. Against a potent St. Louis offense, Garza at least did enough to keep his team in the game, but the Milwaukee offense continued to struggle against Carlos Martinez and the Cards' bullpen. Garza's next start will come Wednesday against the Reds in Cincinnati.
Mon Apr 20 201504:34Garza struggled on Sunday against Pirates, giving up five runs o...
Garza struggled on Sunday against the Pirates, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks over 6.0 innings to fall to 1-2 on the season.
He struggled with his command again, throwing just 64 of his 103 pitches for strikes, and has walked three or more batters in each of his last two starts. Garza will look to bounce back on Friday against the Cardinals, a team he held to one run over 5.2 innings last week.
Tue Apr 14 201504:01Garza gave up six hits and five walks over 5.2 innings against C...
Garza gave up six hits and five walks over 5.2 innings against the Cardinals on Monday, but managed to allow only two runs (one earned) to get the win. He struck out four batters in the outing.
Garza did extremely well with runners on base, holding them to a 1-for-9 performance with runners in scoring position. That sort of strand rate is aberrant, but he's also unlikely to put on that many runners in the first place. He hasn't yet been able to control the slider that he worked on in spring training.
Wed Apr 8 201500:00Garza gave up four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while ...
Garza gave up four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out just two in five innings Tuesday against the Rockies.
Considering how hot the Rockies' bats have been to start the year, it could have been worse for Garza, as four of the eight hits were doubles. He threw just 81 pitches (59 strikes), so it was a relatively small workload for his first start of the season. Garza faces another tough test Monday in St. Louis, and he will have to bring his best stuff to out-duel Adam Wainwright, who will be the opposing pitcher.
Thu Apr 2 201523:40Garza gave up four earned runs on eight hits over three innings ...
Garza gave up four earned runs on eight hits over three innings in his final start of the spring Thursday.
Garza was not particularly sharp this spring, giving up multiple runs in five of his six outings and posting a 6.95 ERA. However, he has rarely been good in the spring, as evidenced by his career 5.23 ERA in the exhibition season. Garza posted a 3.64 ERA in 2015 and will enter the season as the number two starter in the Brewers' rotation. He will make his regular season debut Tuesday at home against the Rockies.
Thu Sep 25 201417:40Garza scratched from start Friday due to shoulder stiffness
Garza has been scratched from his start Friday due to shoulder stiffness, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
It's likely the Brewers are simply being cautious with Garza now that the team is officially eliminated from the playoffs. Jimmy Nelson will make the start Friday against the Cubs in Garza's place.

Garza pitched for six innings Sunday against the Reds, allowing only one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters.
Garza struggled in his first two starts after returning from the DL September 3, but he showed his best outing in three starts Sunday. Before his injury, Garza was pitching well with a 2.88 ERA in June and 2.53 ERA in July. His strong showing Sunday could be a sign that he is getting back on track. Garza will face the Pirates on Saturday.

Garza pitched just four innings Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk, while striking out seven in a no-decision.
It has been a struggle for Garza ever since returning from the disabled list, as he has now allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 14 hits and two walks in his first two starts (spanning just seven innings) back. He now has a 3.83 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:45 K:BB in 152.2 innings this year. His next start is scheduled for Sunday at home against the Reds.
