Garcia, whose home run came on a sweeper that L\u00f3pez left in the middle of the strike zone, led off the sixth with a single to right, and he moved to second base when shortstop Brooks Lee dropped a toss from second baseman Luke Keaschall, who had fielded Salvador Perez\u2019s ground ball. But the two-on, no-outs challenge got a lot easier when catcher Jhonny Pereda, making his Twins debut, picked Garcia off second base with a perfect throw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat a great play. You shouldn\u2019t be afraid to whip that ball around every once in awhile. It\u2019s something he does well,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cHe\u2019s very comfortable making throws. That was a big play. That resolved that inning for us, by coming up with a big play and a good throw.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
From there, L\u00f3pez struck out Adam Frazier, ended the inning with a popup by Michael Massey, and walked to the dugout, where he received congratulations from his teammates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThat just shows Pablo\u2019s composure and his ability to work through things,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cHe really did the job and made some really good pitches. He was fired up being out there still in that spot and being able to work through it. That\u2019s like the emotion of being back \u2014 it finally hit him in that moment and he kind of felt like himself again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI want to shout out Pereda \u2014 he got on a flight at six in the morning after being told at one in the morning that he was going to come up here,\u201d L\u00f3pez said. \u201cAnd actually, we are [two] of the few remaining Venezuelan summer league players. We played together against each other in the 2013 Venezuelan Summer League, which doesn\u2019t exist anymore so there\u2019s not a not a lot of us left. So we already had, like, a good communication, a good thing going.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
