AI Summary
Zac Gallen pitched six innings of two-run baseball to earn a win against the Giants on Monday, striking out five with one walk while allowing four hits. This represents a strong bounceback performance after struggling against the Rangers, and helps lower his ERA to 4.78.
Gallen was handed a 4-0 cushion after the first inning, and he took advantage of it. He struck out five with just one walk, and he gave up four hits; one of those a solo homer by Willy Adames. It's a nice bounceback from his scuffles against the Rangers where he was shellacked for seven runs and couldn't make it out of the fifth, and it helps lower his ERA to 4.78; a mark that is still too high from a fantasy perspective. Still, considering Gallen had forged an 8.79 ERA in his previous May starts, this is encouraging. He gets the Rockies at home on Saturday.
