CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)—Former Major League pitcher Rosman Garcia died after a car accident early Thursday in his native Venezuela. He was 32.

Garcia played for the Texas Rangers in 2003. He had been playing recently for a Venezuelan team, the Aragua Tigers.



Team spokesman Manuel Rodriguez said in a Twitter message that Garcia was killed when he was driving home early Thursday after a game. He said Garcia’s car skidded off the road and hit a tree.

During his career with the Rangers in 2003, Garcia pitched 46 games and had a 6.02 ERA. He returned to the Rangers the following season but was sent back to the minor leagues after four games
