Zac Gallen dazzles in return, but Diamondbacks blow five-run lead in loss to Athletics

Zac Gallen returned from injury and pitched like the Zac Gallen he's been since becoming part of the Arizona Diamondbacks' starting rotation two seasons ago, but the Diamondbacks still lost 7-5 to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday afternoon at Chase Field.

The A's scored seven unanswered runs after trailing 5-0 through three innings, and sent the Diamondbacks (4-8) to their fifth loss in seven games.

Gallen, activated from the 10-day injured list before the game after dealing with a hairline stress fracture in his right forearm, was on a pitch count in his first start of the season.
