Gallen took a no-decision during Friday's win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out nine across six innings.
After a shaky first start against the Padres, Gallen seemed to settle into a better rhythm Friday. The 24-year-old struck out the side in the first inning and retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced before surrendering a solo home run to Mookie Betts in the top of the fourth. His nine strikeouts tied a career high, which he reached on two occasions during the 2019 campaign. The right-hander will take the mound again Thursday against Houston.
