Cards recall infielder Garcia; option Lyons

SAN DIEGO -- Despite the grueling travel day, Greg Garcia was happy to be back in his hometown on Sunday, as the Cardinals faced San Diego for the finale of a three-game series at Petco Park.

Garcia, who has been up and down from the Minors this season, went to Valhalla High School in El Cajon, a suburb 15 miles east of Petco Park. He was looking forward to having nine family members in the crowd on Sunday.

Garcia, the Cards' No. 24 prospect, according to MLB.com, found out at late last night that he would be needed in San Diego.
