Zac Gallen Shines as D-backs Extend Win Streak to Five
Arizona Diamondbacks’ pitcher Zac Gallen put on a masterful performance, allowing just two hits in six innings, while Eugenio Suárez delivered a clutch two-run double, propelling the team to a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. This win marked the D-backs’ fifth consecutive victory.
Gallen, with his stellar outing, recorded his 10th win of the season, striking out nine batters and walking four. The Diamondbacks have been on an impressive run, winning 23 of their last 29 games to solidify their position as the top team in the NL wild-card race, just four games behind the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
In a game where offense was hard to come by, The Diamondbacks managed to capitalize on key opportunities, with Suárez’s timely hit off the Green Monster proving to be the difference. Despite Boston’s late surge in the ninth inning, Arizona’s pitching held strong, securing the victory.
The series finale is set for Sunday, with Merrill Kelly taking the mound for the Diamondbacks, facing off against Tanner Houck of the Red Sox. The matchup promises to be an exciting one, as both teams look to cap off the series with a win.
