Jaime Garcia Ends Lefty Losing Streak

Here is a stat which will make you say wow!

Saturday's starter for the Cardinals, Jaime Garcia, turned a rare feat for the redbirds in his win last Saturday at Milwaukee. The win by Garcia snapped a Cardinals streak of 586 games without a win by a left handed starting pitcher.

The last cardinals lefty starter to post a victory prior to the Garcia's win was Mark Mulder on June 15 2006.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau the 586 games was the longest streak in the majors.

Didn't last nights game against the Mets go 586 innings? I lost count!
