Kansas City got solid performances on the mound but didn’t have a prayer offensively against Zac Gallen as the Diamondbacks starter stretched his scoreless streak to 27 innings in a 2-0 Arizona victory.
The game remained scoreless for the first hour or so. The Royals got consecutive line drive singles from Vinnie Pasquantino and MJ Melendez in the first but couldn’t make anything of them. Ketel Marte was plunked to lead off Arizona’s first inning and was stranded there. Corbin Carroll singled in the second but was gunned down by Freddy Fermin on a stolen base attempt.
