Gallegos fired a perfect ninth inning while striking one to earn the save in the win over the Padres on Saturday.
Gallegos entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He retired the side in order to pick up his ninth save of the season, a big performance where the Cardinals created even more room from the Padres in a multi-team race for the second wild-card spot. It was a solid outing after he blew a save in his previous appearance against the Mets. The 29-year-old has a 3.31 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 86 strikeouts in 73.1 innings this season.
