Zac Gallen Picks Up The Win On Tuesday
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen earned the win on Tuesday after allowing four runs on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks over six innings in an 8-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The D-Backs' offense staked Gallen a five-run lead in the bottom of the first inning so he had some breathing room in this one. He then allowed the first three batters to reach in the top of the second inning before recording an out. Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes then both scored on wild pitches before a Christian Bethancourt RBI groundout and a Jose Siri solo shot made it a 5-4 ball game. Gallen would settle down after that rough inning and wouldn't allow another run to score. He was able to secure his 10th win of the season thanks to the run support the offense provided. The 27-year-old owns a rock-solid 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 108:22 K/BB ratio over 104 1/3 innings (17 starts) on the year. He'll take on the Angels on the road in his next start.
