Zac Gallen didn’t have his best stuff as baseballs were flying out of Coors Field. Gallen gave up seven earned runs on 10 hits and only five innings pitched. The bullpen for Arizona held strong though, as only one earned run on two hits was allowed the rest of the day once Gallen was pulled. The D-Backs were able to come out on top as their offense kept up the consistency and defeated the Rockies by a score of 14-8.
