(Arizona Sports) Zac Gallen extends scoreless streak to 21 innings, D-backs blank Giants
Zac Gallen struck out a career-high 12 in 7.1 innings, extending his shutout streak and pitching the Arizona Diamondbacks past the San Francisco Giants 5-0 on Thursday.
Gallen (9-2) limited the Giants to four hits and has now thrown 21.1 consecutive scoreless innings. The right-hander has won five straight decisions since his last loss on June 10 at Philadelphia.
“There’s a complete difference over there,” Brandon Belt said of the Diamondbacks’ improved performance. “They’ve always been scrappy, but they’ve taken that to a new level this year.
