Pitching Matchup: Yovani Gallardo (SEA) vs. Adalberto Mejia (MIN)
Gallardo struggled last Thursday in a loss to the Rockies. He allowed six hits, five runs and three walks while recording two strikeouts. Colorado racked up four runs in the second inning against the right-hander, which included a solo home run by Nolan Arenado. It was the second time in Gallardo’s last three starts that he failed to make it out of the fourth inning.
Mejia, meanwhile, allowed three runs and two hits over five innings in a start on Wednesday versus the Mariners. Both of the hits he allowed were home runs and he also walked three batters. He took the no-decision in that game against the Mariners.
