SEATTLE — They’re no longer young prospects and they can’t blow fastballs by hitters any longer.
But when it comes to durability, dependability and downright doggedness, Yovani Gallardo and Mike Pelfrey still have it.
The two right-handers, who have combined for 515 career major-league starts and 175 victories, are scheduled to take the mound Saturday night in Seattle, when the Mariners and Chicago White Sox continue their four-game series.
The 31-year-old Gallardo (2-3, 4.53 ERA) is the lone starting remaining from Seattle’s projected Opening Day rotation, with Felix Hernandez, James Paxton, Hisashi Iwakuma and Drew Smyly all on the disabled list.
