Rookie Gallen Notches First Major League Win, Marlins Defeat White Sox 2-0

CHICAGO (CBSMiami/AP) — It was a career night for a Marlins youngster on Wednesday night, as he dazzled on the mound in a win over the Chicago White Sox.

Zac Gallen, tossed the first true gem of his young career, and it seemed as if the Miami Marlins’ rookie right-hander would have nothing more than another no-decision to show for it.

That all changed with one swing of the bat by César Puello.

Gallen pitched seven innings of two-hit ball for his first major league win and Puello hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning as Miami won its second straight game, beating the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Wednesday night.
