Zac Gallen Dazzles with No-Hit Gem Against Giants
by Jesse Garcia | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Thu, Sep 5th 7:49am EDT
Zac Gallen delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, tossing six no-hit innings while walking four and striking out eight in a 6-4 victory over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a showcase of Gallen's ability to dominate despite a higher-than-desirable walk rate, as he managed to keep Giants' hitters completely off balance. His season ERA now improves to an impressive 3.69, complemented by a solid 1.28 WHIP and an 8.9 K/9 rate. Gallen's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate and a respectable 3.40 FIP suggests that he remains a strong fantasy option, especially in leagues that value strikeouts and WHIP. His performance in this game should reassure fantasy managers about his reliability as a top-tier starting pitcher, even if his walk rate might occasionally cause some concern.
