Zac Gallen had a subpar game in which there were several odd occurrences, including one unique to the domed stadium in Tampa Bay
A flat and disoriented Arizona Diamondbacks team lost to the Rays for the second straight night, this time by a score of 6-1. With the series loss now guaranteed, their streak of nine straight series victories dating back to July 12th comes to an end.
In the fourth inning a routine double play ground ball brushed against the second base umpire's pants leg, negating the DP. Instead it was ruled a dead ball and counted as a hit, putting runners on first and second with nobody out. Gallen got out of the inning thanks to a line out double play. But the weird play cost him additional pitches once again.
Gallen's ERA is now 3.85 on the season and his record drops to 9-6. His ERA was 2.83 on June 29th. But he's given up 27 runs in 46.3 innings over his last nine outings. The Rays bullpen took over from there to hold the D-backs scoreless. Arizona did manage to load the bases again in the eighth inning, but pinch hitter Corbin Carroll tapped out to second base against a lefty reliever to end the inning. They ended up 1-5 with runners in scoring position and seven left on base.
