Last time out, Garza and catcher Dioner Navarro got into a spat on the mound that carried over into the dugout.

The Rays have maintained a stance that what happened was a family matter and, as such, needed to remain in-house.

Rays manager Joe Maddon was asked about Garza's start against the Marlins on Saturday, and he made it sound like just another day at the office.

"It's just another start for Garza," Maddon said. "I'm looking forward to a really good performance tomorrow, I believe."

If Navarro does not catch Saturday night, it will be a surprise. The pair has made up and could even be seen sitting beside one another and joking around inside the visiting clubhouse at Angel Stadium. Navarro went so far as to say of Garza, "Matty's my boy."

While the Rays have indeed kept the matter in-house for the most part, Garza said he learned from the experience.

"Not so much physically, but mentally," Garza said. "I worried about too much stuff. I need to just worry about the pitch I'm making. And as soon as the ball leaves my hand, [I need to] worry about the next pitch. Because once it leaves my hand, it's out of my control what happens to it. ... I feel a lot better, and I'm ready to go."

Garza has been tough to beat inside Tropicana Field, where he is 3-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five starts this season.

Tampa Bay will face former Rays left-hander Mark Hendrickson, who is 14-17 with a 4.94 ERA in 44 career appearances at Tropicana Field.
