Gallen (8-5) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.
Gallen's shaky control continues to be a red flag -- he has a 19:14 K:BB over 24 innings across five starts this month. On the bright side, he earned his second quality start in six outings since he returned from a hamstring injury. The right-hander is now at a 3.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 87.2 innings over 17 starts this year. Gallen's next start is projected to come at home versus the Nationals.
