Gallen throws 1-hit, 7-inning shutout, Diamondbacks top Braves in opener

ATLANTA — Zac Gallen pitched a one-hitter in a seven-inning shutout, Stephen Vogt and Kole Calhoun homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Atlanta Braves 5-0 Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader.

Gallen (1-0) allowed only Freddie Freeman's sharp single to right-center field with one out in the sixth.

Gallen, who finished ninth in the NL Cy Young Award voting last year, struck out six, walked two and hit a batter. This was his first complete game in 30 major league starts.

The 29-year-old righty improved to 6-5 with a 2.72 ERA since making his Diamondbacks debut on Aug.
