Zac Gallen grinds through four, D-Backs dominate Phillies
by Chris Schommer | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 10:14am EDT
Zac Gallen delivered a mixed performance, allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 11-1 victory over the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Gallen's outing was somewhat underwhelming given his inability to pitch deep into the game, which could raise concerns about his stamina or management's trust in him in crucial situations. However, his season-long metrics, including a 3.69 ERA and a respectable 1.28 WHIP, suggest that he remains a reliable option in most fantasy formats. His 8.5 K/9 indicates potential for strikeouts, though his performance in this game didn't fully capitalize on that skill. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gallen as a dependable, if not spectacular, starting option, keeping an eye on his usage and performance in high-scoring games like this one.
