Yovani Gallardo picks up first win in over a month

Yovani Gallardo once again struggled with his command, but was good enough to pick up his first victory since June 27 as the Rangers defeated the Astros 4-3 on Tuesday. Gallardo threw 98 pitches to get through five innings, allowing just four hits and three runs, while walking two and striking out three.

Fantasy Impact:

The base-on-balls numbers don't reflect it, but the command that Gallardo displayed earlier in the season has been missing of late. Of the 98 pitches he threw tonight, only 56 were strikes. Nevertheless, he improved to 8-9 on the season, and got the Rangers back to the .500 mark.
