HOUSTON — Houston Astros starter Luis García left Monday night's game against the San Francisco Giants with right elbow discomfort after throwing just eight pitches. García allowed a leadoff single to LaMonte Wade Jr. and had thrown six pitches to Thairo Estrada when he stopped and motioned for catcher Martín Maldonado to come to the mound. Maldonado spoke to García before signaling for the trainer to come out. He and manager Dusty Baker came to the mound and spoke with the right-hander for a couple of minutes before escorting him off the field.
