Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo did not factor into the decision during Saturday's contest against the Twins. Gallardo, who was making his ninth start of the year, allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits over six innings in the 5-4 loss. Both runs he surrendered came off the bat of Brian Dozier, who had a pair of RBI flyouts. Gallardo was pulled after throwing 108 pitches and finished with three walks and three strikeouts, while earning the no-decision.
Analysis: Gallardo seemed to really labor on the mound Saturday afternoon, which has been the case for most of the season. The 26-year-old has logged double-digit wins and 200-plus strikeouts in each of his last three season, but will really need to pick up the pace if he wants to reach those marks this year. Gallardo has only managed to win one of his last seven starts and has gone 1-3 with a 4.05 ERA over that stretch to go along with 39 strikeouts and 18 walks. He is scheduled to make his next start on Friday at Arizona. Gallardo has yet to lose to the Diamondbacks, going 5-0 with a 1.20 in five career starts against them. Leave him active in the majority of formats heading into to his next outing.
