Yovani Gallardo stays perfect in the month of August
by Mitch Cox | Sat, Aug 22nd 11:24pm EDT
After a miserable July that saw Gallardo go 0-3 with a 5.46 ERA in six starts, the month of August has been much kinder. Gallardo won for the third time in four starts (a no-decision vs. Twins on Aug. 11) in leading Texas to a 5-3 win over Detroit today. Gallardo (10-9) went six scoreless innings, scattering eight hits while walking one and striking out four.
Fantasy Impact:
The Rangers almost let the game get away from them in the ninth inning. With the score 5-0, reliever Sam Dyson allowed a pair of base runners with two out, and former Ranger Ian Kinsler blasted a three-run homer off of closer Shawn Tolleson. Tolleson was then able to record the final out to preserve the victory.
