Zac Gallen had another passable performance for the Diamondbacks, helping to further solidify himself as a leading candidate for the 2020 rotation. The somewhat erratic right-hander struck out six and walked only one in his five innings of work. He allowed three runs, but managed to work around some trouble spots and shift-beating squibbers to mitigate the overall damage.
Unlike the trouncing Arizona placed on Los Angeles on Thursday, Friday night’s game was a much closer contest, requiring the Diamondbacks to come from behind in the late innings. Josh Rojas had his first career home run, a game-tying two-run shot to right field with two outs in the seventh.
