This was an enjoyable game to watch, up until the sixth inning. Zac Gallen squared off against Giants starter Kevin Gausman in what was for the most part, a pitcher’s duel. This easily could have gone the other way, had the Diamondbacks been able to capitalize on some missed offensive opportunities.
Both starters were excellent in this game. Gallen’s start was much better than the end results show. Gallen started the game allowing a lead off single to Mike Yastrzemski. Starting with the next batter Alex Dickerson, who ground into a double play, Gallen retired the next 15 batters in a row.
