Zac Gallen Shuts Down Dodgers in Diamondbacks 3-0 Victory

Zac Gallen delivered an outstanding pitching performance to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending the Dodgers' four-game winning streak. Gallen pitched six scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and three walks while striking out eight batters, showcasing improved velocity on his fastball and slider and generating five swings and misses on his knuckle-curve. This outing marked Gallen's second scoreless start of the season and capped off a strong August in which he posted a 2.57 ERA and five quality starts in six appearances. Offensively, Blaze Alexander contributed a pivotal two-run homer, and Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno added key RBIs to secure the win. Despite Gallen's solid performance, his overall 2025 season record stands at 10-13 with an ERA around 4.94 and a WHIP of 1.30. The Diamondbacks now hold an 11-3 record when Alexander records an extra-base hit, and they look ahead to a home matchup against the Rangers next week.
