How is Carpenter going to explain this to his son?

Several teammates were incensed to learn that Garcia started such a monumental game if indeed compromised physically. A faction within the organization has remained skeptical about the severity of Garcia's condition despite a June diagnosis that he was suffering from an impingement and strain that required more than two months' rest and rehabilitation.

First baseman Allen Craig, responding to a question unrelated to Garcia, called the game "the closest thing to a must-win we've played this year."

Mozeliak termed the club's ignorance of Garcia's most recent issue as "frustrating."

Asked if his current situation is similar to the one in June that forced him to the disabled list, Garcia said, "It's different. Obviously the last couple weeks I've felt the best I've felt in a long time. It's been really good. I don't know what happened. I don't know when it happened. I'm just hoping it's not as bad as last time."
