Zac Gallen’s solid start leads Diamondbacks to victory over Angels

With their opening day lineup nearly intact, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Los Angeles Angels, clinching a 2-0 win.

Zac Gallen was excellent on the mound for Arizona, tossing 4.1 shutout innings, striking out 4 batters while allowing just 1 hit.

The Diamondbacks struck first with Christian Walker driving in Ketel Marte in the 3rd inning. Marte started the inning with a leadoff double, he is hitting .450 this spring at the plate.

In the 5th inning, Arizona added another run as Corbin Carroll delivered a base hit up the middle. Later, Carroll advanced to 3rd on a pickoff attempt gone awry and ultimately scored on a sacrifice fly by Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
