PHOENIX — Zac Gallen pulled on a purple hoodie in the aftermath of Arizona's ugly Game 4 loss in the World Series and saw a gaggle of reporters approaching his locker before grabbing his iPad, respectfully declining interviews and heading for the clubhouse exit.The Diamondbacks need the right-hander to revert to his All-Star form in Game 5 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. If he can't, there's a good chance his team's unexpected October run will be over.
“That's another guy that I'm betting on all day, every day with our backs against the wall,” D-backs first baseman Christian Walker said. “He's my guy. He's our guy. Nothing but confidence and faith in him.” Nelson was a starter for much of the season but lost his spot in the rotation as the postseason approached. He hadn't pitched that long in a game since Sept. 7.Gallen has been competitive in his five October starts, throwing at least five innings in all of them. But he's also given up 13 earned runs over the past 16 innings while surrendering five homers.
