The Brewers began a three-city road trip Monday night, losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-0. The bats were silent for Milwaukee. Right-hander Zac Gallen allowed just three hits while striking out 11 over seven innings as the D-backs won their fourth straight.
In his first two starts of the year against the Dodgers and Padres, Gallen (1-1) allowed a total of 10 runs (nine earned) in 10 2/3 innings. It was a two-start stretch that the D-backs were not accustomed to seeing from their ace, who finished fifth in the NL Cy Young Award voting a season ago.
Of his 96 pitches on the night, a career-high 40 of them were curveballs. The Brewers swung at the pitch 19 times and missed 10 of them, and another seven were called strikes. Seven more curves were fouled off and only two were put in play. Milwaukee did not have an extra base hit.
The Diamonbacks took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and then catcher Christian Walker hammered a two-run homer in the fifth for the final margin of victory. It was his second homer of the season and it came off starter Wade Miley. Miley (1-1) went five innings, giving up all three runs on five hits, while striking out three and walking three.
The teams play again tonight as the Brewers send Corbin Burnes (0-1, 9.64 ERA) against fellow right-hander Merrill Kelly (0-1, 3.86 ERA). First pitch is at 8:40 CDT.
Elsewhere in the NL Central Monday Houston beat Pittsburgh 8-2, the Braves edged the Reds 5-4, the Cubs nipped Seattle 3-2 and the Rockies downed the Cardinals 7-4.
