Gallen allows a run in the fourth inning of the 12-6 victory, ending his streak at 44 1/3 innings.
Michael Kelly Associated Press DENVER — Zac Gallen retired the first nine batters he faced to extend his scoreless innings streak to 44 1/3 innings, seventh longest in MLB history, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 12-6 on Sunday.
Gallen retired the next six batters but three straight singles by Colorado to open the fourth, the last an RBI single by C.J. Cron, ended his streak. It was the first run he allowed since Aug. 2 at Cleveland.Gallen was two outs shy of tying Sal Maglie for sixth on the all-time list of longest scoreless streaks in MLB history.
Arizona scored four in the third and five in the seventh to back Gallen’s day. Jake McCarthy had four hits and three RBIs for the Diamondbacks.Before the game, the two teams gathered around an American flag in the center of the infield in honor of Sept. 11, 2001. There was a moment of silence for that and for an Arvada police officer who was killed in the line of duty this weekend, before the national anthem.
