Zac Gallen pitched seven strong innings, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a two-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Mets 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Gallen (3-4) had his longest outing of the season, giving up one run on two hits and three walks while striking out six. The right-hander coaxed a double-play grounder from Jeff McNeil in the seventh to end his evening.
It was the second time in a week that Gallen frustrated the Mets' powerful lineup. He gave up just one run over six innings last Thursday in New York during Arizona's 4-2 win.
