A right hamstring spasm bites the Diamondbacks pitcher in 6-1 loss, but he appears to have dodged a bullet
The Diamondbacks lost a game to the Mariners tonight 6-1, but may have dodged a bullet. Zac Gallen exited the game in the bottom of the 6th inning with right hamstring tightness, putting a pall over what was already a difficult season for the Diamondbacks .
After walking the leadoff hitter in the 6th, he suffered the hamstring injury in the middle of a Julio Rodriguez at bat. Hopping off the mound in obvious discomfort, he left with the trainer a few moments later. Gallen also described it as minor tightness and something he has dealt with before in 2019 and 2021."I know it's not something to mess around with and push through. It didn't feel like it was too severe honestly I just tried to nip it in the bud before it got worse and make the smart play. Maybe give up an inning or two as opposed to go on the IL for an extended period of time."
Scott McGough relieved Gallen, and allowed a single and walk, before giving up a grand slam to Mitch Haniger. That made the scored 6-1 and the D-backs never got back in the game. The lone D-backs run came on a solo homer by Kevin Newman in the top of the 6th. It was Newman's second homer of the year. Justin Martinez threw two scoreless innings.
