Gallen Shines, D-backs Sweep Tigers

On April 1st, Arizona Diamondback starter, Zach Galen bounced back strong after a tough opening day against the Dodgers.

On Wednesday, he locked horns with Tigers ace Tark Skubal in a pitcher's duel, tossing six scoreless innings with just four hits, no walks, and two.

Strikeouts to lead Arizona to a one-nothing win.

Skubal wins seven innings for Detroit, striking out three but allowing that lone run on Corbin Carroll's opposite field solo homer in the first.

Carol joined just five other lefty hitters to go deep off the former Si Young winner this early in the season.

Galen settled in after some early hard contact, pitching the contact smartly with his four-seam fastball, touching 94 miles per hour.

A key moment came in the sixth, when new infielder Jose Fernandez made a heads-up play at first base, snagging a liner and throwing to third for the four-sout after a lead-off triple.

The Diamondback's bullpen followed up with another clean slate, Taylor Clark, Warren Marillo, and Jonathan LaWaziga, each throwing scoreless frames to.

Sealed the series sweep, Arizona sits at three wins and three losses, playing that gritty style fans know well.

Carol summed it up post-game, saying the team's taking what's given, making routine plays, and showing their solid squad ready to keep building.
