Gallen took a no-decision Saturday in the Diamondbacks' 5-2 loss to the Rockies after tossing seven shutout innings. He scattered three hits and one walk while striking out nine.
Gallen outdueled Colorado starter Kyle Freeland (two runs allowed over seven innings) and departed with the lead, but the Arizona bullpen was unable to seal the deal and kept the right-hander out of the win column for a 13th consecutive start. On the bright side, the nine strikeouts established a new season high for Gallen, and for at least one start, he navigated the unfavorable confines of Coors Field and solved the home-run problems that had been troubling him of late. Gallen had yielded eight gopher balls across his last five starts.
