There’s a realistic chance that tonight was Zac Gallen’s final appearance as an Arizona Diamondback, after seven seasons and 164 starts for the team. All told, he has likely been a top five starter: obviously behind Johnson, Schilling and Webb, but not many more. If this was the last of Zac, his performance tonight encapsulated not the Gallen who had three top ten finishes in the Cy Young voting, and was an All-Star in 2023. But it was an accurate summary of Zac over the past year or so. He simply was never the same after coming off the injured list in the middle of last year.
