Wednesday’s Probable Pitchers

Diamondbacks: RHP Zac Gallen (9-12, 5.31)

Gallen was one of the few free-agents-to-be that the Diamondbacks were unable to unload at the MLB trade deadline. Now, he seeks to put some good games on the board down the stretch as he tries to boost his chances of a bigger deal in free agency this offseason.

He’s been the pitcher of record in each of his last seven starts, going 4-3 with a 4.29 ERA with 42 strikeouts and eight walks in 42 innings. He’s also won each of his last two starts, which came against the Colorado Rockies and the Athletics.

Rangers: RHP Merrill Kelly (9-7, 3.38)

In an odd twist of fate, Kelly’s third start as a Ranger will come against his former team. The D-backs unloaded him to Texas for three Top 15 pitching prospects. It’s one of those trade deadline things that just happens sometimes.

Kelly is coming off his start against Philadelphia on Friday in which he pitched 4.1 innings, allowed five hits, four runs and five walks against four strikeouts. He has now lost two of his last three starts, going back to his last start with Arizona. For the season he has 131 strikeouts and 43 walks in 138.2 innings.
