Zac Gallen Expects To Be Available For Game 7 In Relief
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen said he expects to be available for Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in relief. "Game 7, it's all hands on deck," manager Torey Lovullo said. Gallen last pitched on Saturday in Game 5 of the series, when he allowed four runs on six hits while striking out just one over six innings in a loss. The 28-year-old threw 93 pitches in that outing and probably would only be able to give the D-backs an inning or two, at the most, if he appears in the winner-take-all showdown in Philadelphia. Gallen hasn't been nearly as sharp in his first postseason experience this October as he was in the regular season, as he's allowed 13 earned runs on 24 hits (six homers) while walking nine and striking out 13 in 22 1/3 innings over four starts.
