RECORD: 41-52, Pace 71-91
The Diamondbacks played almost a perfect game in their first game after the All Star Break, defeating the Washington Nationals 10-1.
Zac Gallen was outstanding, taking a no hitter into the 6th inning on the way to 7 shutout innings. He didn’t walk a batter, struck out 7, and was in control the entire game. Spotting his fastball, he said he used all 4-5 of his pitches and had pretty good command, saying he “had everything working for the most part” and felt only the curve wasn’t as sharp as the others “but you still have to use it”.
