Diamondbacks News
Diamondbacks Reach Halfway Point with Same Record as Last Year Zac Gallen had another terrible first inning. There’s no getting around that fact. But then, Gallen found his groove and looked much like the Gallen of old as he mowed down the next 15 hitters. But then, his luck ran out in the seventh when Torey Lovullo tried to get one last inning out of him, given he was on a low pitch count and was dealing. The Diamondbacks offense fell flat though, failing to turn in a competitive
performance in support of what was a decent start by the former ace of the team.
