Right from the get-go, both Marcus Stroman and Zac Gallen looked to have it going on. Gallen of course has been excellent this season, allowing only 4 earned runs en route to the lowest ERA in the MLB. Stroman was coming off his best start of the year, a 7 inning, 2-hits allowed against the Brewers to start May. But Stroman hit the COVID IL, and it was a toss-up as to how he’d pitch coming back. As we’ve seen from Melancon, it’s not a guarantee to come back pitching at 100% capacity. But as mentioned, both pitchers had everything going.
