Zac Gallen’s second appearance since returning from the IL saw him allow two runs — one earned — in three innings in Friday’s 9-2 loss to the Yankees.

Gallen was just mopping up, but he did okay in that role, allowing only two hard-hit balls and striking out two. It was Gallen’s first ever relief appearance after 196 starts as a major leaguer. He might get a start next week if the D-backs fall out of the Wild Card race, a scenario which seems unfortunately likely at the moment.
