Garman didn’t factor in a decision for the BoSox in 1973 while posting an earned run average of 5.32 in 22 innings of work.
To that point he played in parts of four seasons in the Big Leagues, all with Boston, never pitching more than those 22 innings in any one year.
He would pitch for nine-years in the Major Leagues, collecting 42 saves and 22 wins (against 27 losses) generally out of the bullpen, as only eight of his career 303 games were as a starter.
He’d also finish with a 3.63 ERA and 213 strikeouts in 433.2 innings, with his only postseason action coming in 1977 as a member of the National League champ Los Angeles Dodgers.
