The Robins pushed for a second and Thomas was unlucky to flick a header over from George Nurse's cross.
Oldham took advantage of their let-off to equalise in the 45th minute, when Garner met Ryan Woods' corner with a bullet header at the far right post.
After starting the second half on the front foot, Garner turned provider, heading down substitute Mike Fondop's cross for Kai Payne to finish.
Cheltenham had chances to equalise but Hudson's efforts ensured Oldham registered their first double of the season.
