Share this story Record 30-69, pace 49-113 (Losers of 31 of last 33 road games)
The Diamondbacks nascent post all-star break revival hit a bump in the road as their 4-game winning streak was snapped today in Chicago, losing 8 to 3. Zac Gallen struggled right from the start, showing poor control and command and getting hit hard when he did get the ball over the plate. He gave up 7 runs over in 4 innings and the D-backs never really got in the game.
Zac entered the game with a 3.86 ERA/3.89 FIP/ 4.06 xFIP in 46.2 IP.
Four innings later he was at 4.86 ERA/4.44 FIP/ 4.15 xFIP
D-backs 2, Cubs 4: Soria for laughing

Bleh. Started out my day still hamstrung by a lingering sinus infection and dealing with my car being serviced for FIVE HOURS!
I’ve earned this beer.
Beer 1: Helical Haze by Simple Machine
Nothing says bad day quite like lengthy and costly repairs. Am I right or what? Blessedly a good hazy IPA goes at least some minor length to cure that. Kinda….
Gallen’s first game back since his hamstring injury and while not looking sharp in the 1st he does get through it bloodless. I’ll take it.
