PHOENIX (AP) — Zac Gallen pitched six sharp innings and Corbin Carroll hit a two-run single in a five-run fifth to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Sunday.
Gallen (3-0) threw 90 pitches, giving up four hits and walking two. He struck out seven, two of them coming with a runner on third and one out.
“His breaking ball was elite,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. ”It seemed like he could throw it anywhere he wanted.”
The right-hander caught Brandon Crawford looking on a full count with the bases loaded in the second and then got a grounder to escape the jam. Gallen also whiffed Ivan Herrera on a 3-2 curve in the fourth before retiring Crawford on a popup.
“I felt like I was grinding,” Gallen said. “I made some solid pitches when I needed to.”
With a five-run lead, he didn’t lobby to stay in after alerting Lovullo earlier.
