Pirates Top Games of 2023: No. 9 — Bucs blast Gallen, Diamondbacks

Our next top game from 2023 comes just a few days after Mitch Keller’s dominant outing in Baltimore.

Still clinging to second place in the NL Central, the Pirates welcomed the Arizona Diamondbacks to PNC Park on May 19 for the first of a three-game weekend series, and while many expected Zac Gallen to trample on the Bucs’ lineup, the opposite occurred.

Tied at one headed into the bottom of the fourth, the Pirates jumped on Gallen for seven runs in the frame.

Joshua Palacios put the Pirates in front with a two-run single to left.
