Earlier today I assumed a third straight win against the Miami Marlins was nearly certain with Zac Gallen scheduled to start. It would have been a great start to the rest of the week for me because I will be at both Thursday and Friday’s games, but then we learned this afternoon that Gallen is going to be out for at least a few weeks with a UCL sprain. Because of that, instead of watching our ace take the mound we would be blessed with an emergency outing from Matt Peacock.
Umpire CB Bucknor was as typically unpredictable behind home plate as he usually is with his strike zone.
