Why didn't Buck use Garcia today?

I think Buck just wanted to enjoy 4 innings in Fenway with no drama; just close it out. Lots of guys fresh for the bullpen today:

- Britton

- O'Day

- Brach

- Matusz

- Garcia

Maybe we score 8 early off of Masterson and Garcia gets an inning or two.

Yep. Buck pretty much admitted as much when he was asked about Garcia after yesterday's game:

"I decided to let Gaus finish that game. Until we get to the point in the season where we know what we've got, this team is very hard to beat here or anywhere. We had the chance to beat them. We thought we could finish the game with Gaus."

Translation: We were in a position to win and I didn't want to risk Garcia blowing it.
