The Arizona Diamondbacks (44-29, 44-29 RL, 35-33-5 O/U) and the Milwaukee Brewers (37-35, 31-41 RL, 30-39-3 O/U) conclude a three-game series on Wednesday afternoon. The Diamondbacks will have Zac Gallen on the mound. The Brewers will reply with Julio Teheran. The Diamondbacks lead the season series 3-1.
Zac Gallen will take the mound to conclude the series. Gallen was brilliant in his previous start, limiting the Guardians to one run in seven innings, and was credited with the win. The veteran is having an excellent season, conceding two or fewer runs in four of his five outings, and has recorded a 2.96 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP complemented by an 8-2 record in 91.1 innings pitched. Gallen completed seven scoreless innings against Milwaukee in April and has incredible numbers against the Brewers, posting a minuscule 1.86 ERA and a 2-3 record in 29 innings.
Arizona is playing the third of a four-game road trek in this one. The club has been one of the better road squads in the Major Leagues, posting a stellar 21-11 record. Arizona posted a series win against the Guardians this past weekend propelled by stellar pitching and scored nine runs in Monday's win. They continue to stand atop the division.
