Zac Gallen’s first start of 2023 was a bit shaky. Eight pitches in, he was a run down, as the A’s started off double, RBI single. He escaped the inning without further damage, but it was still a 27-pitch frame. He was relieved with one out in the second, then came out again in the third inning, being lifted once more with two outs and two on. Blake Rogers then took six attempts to get the final out, allowing both inherited runners to score as well as four of his own. Gallen came out again for the fourth, and was relieved after a lead-off walk, which also came round to score.
