Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen struggled in a 5-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, giving up five earned runs in less than five innings. A defensive misstep by Tim Tawa contributed to the Orioles’ lead. Despite Gallen feeling he had better stuff than his previous start, he couldn’t execute effectively. The Diamondbacks offense failed to capitalize when opportunities arose, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Strong bullpen work was a bright spot for Arizona.
Manager Torey Lovullo showed support for Tawa after the missed play. Arizona’s struggling defense has been a concern throughout the season. The Diamondbacks will look to bounce back in the next game against the Orioles, with Charlie Morton starting for Baltimore and Merrill Kelly for Arizona.
The loss marks a three-game losing streak for the Diamondbacks, who hope to turn things around with improved pitching and more efficient hitting. Despite the setbacks, Lovullo remains focused on the importance of every play and the need to play smart baseball to secure victories. The Diamondbacks will look to regroup and come out strong in the next game.
