Gallegos was charged with his eighth blown lead of the season after he gave up a run on one hit while striking out one over an inning of relief in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Mets in 11 innings.
Tasked with protecting a one-run advantage in the bottom of the ninth, Gallegos surrendered a leadoff home run to Javier Baez to send the game to extras. Alex Reyes entered the contest the following inning and was credited with the win, while Kwang Hyun Kim kept the Mets off the board in the bottom of the 11th to claim his first save. Since Reyes was transitioned out of the closer role earlier this month, Gallegos picked up four saves in dominant fashion before Tuesday's hiccup, so he still looks to be the Cardinals' top late-inning arm.
