Zac Gallen allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.Gallen once again followed a strong start -- a six-inning scoreless outing versus the Red Sox last Saturday -- with a dud, though the Dodgers are a tough opponent for anyone.

The right-hander is at a 3.87 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 118:43 K:BB through 121 innings over 23 starts this year.

The 29-year-old right-hander has yet to allow a home run in six starts since the All-Star break, but the rest of his numbers during that stretch (3.78 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 26:16 K:BB in 33.1 innings) aren't up to his usual standards. Gallen will look to regain his form in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Boston.
