And he had another difficult outing Tuesday night against Miami, though his line wasn't quite as ugly in and of itself. Gallen gave up four runs over the course of 5.1 innings. For the second straight game, he gave up nine base hits, including three doubles.
Handed a 1-0 lead to begin the first inning, he quickly gave that lead away, and would continue to grind through a tough performance on the road. Gallen exited in the sixth inning with Arizona trailing 3-2 and a runner at first base — who would eventually score. That simply isn't going to be good enough for Arizona if that is the norm for Gallen's starts these days. His Once Gallen departed, things deteriorated further.
Right-hander Taylor Clarke, who has been exceptional this season, plated Gallen's inherited runner, then two more runs of his own.
