Armando Antonio Galarraga (born January 15, 1982 in Cumana, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. Galarraga made his Major League Baseball debut with the Texas Rangers on September 15, 2007.
Galarraga originally signed as a free agent with the Montreal Expos on October 31, 1998. He was acquired by the Rangers from the Washington Nationals as part of the deal that sent Alfonso Soriano to the Nationals in 2005.
On February 5, 2008, Galarraga was traded to the Detroit Tigers.[1] As a minor league call up for the injured Dontrelle Willis, Galarraga earned his first career win April 16, 2008 in a 13-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
Armando is not related to former major leaguer Andres Galarraga, though they are both from Venezuela.
