Garza gives up two hits, beats Jays: Matt Garza threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings to help the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays past the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on Saturday night. Garza (8-5) allowed two hits -- coming on singles in the third by Scott Rolen and Marco Scutaro during the seventh -- and struck out six. The right-hander was coming off a start on July 12 when he gave up seven runs and 11 hits in five innings of an 8-4 loss at Cleveland. "I was just trying to match him (Roy Halladay) and I was able to," Garza said. (Updated 07/20/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Garza had two mediocre outings in a row sandwiched by three great starts, including a complete game against Florida on June 26. The Rays are back to their winning ways, it seems, and Garza should continue with his excellent season. He's becoming more and more of a must-start in deeper Fantasy formats. He next pitches Thursday at Kansas City. Against the lowly Royals, get him in there. (Updated 07/20/2008).
