Collects sixth win Gallegos (6-5) got the win in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs, allowing two hits in one scoreless inning.

Impact Gallegos entered a 3-3 tie in the ninth inning and allowed a leadoff double to Willson Contreras but he was eventually erased on a play at the plate, and he became the winner when St. Louis walked it off in the bottom of the inning. It was the 30-year-old's first win since June 28 as he's now thrown eight consecutive scoreless innings across his last eight appearances.

Notches save No. 14 Gallegos fired a scoreless ninth inning, walking two and striking out two to earn the save in the win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Impact Gallegos entered the ninth inning with a two-run lead. He walked two straight batters to put the tying run on base with one out. However, he was able to retire the final two batters, ending with a strikeout by Ian Happ. The 29-year-old has 12 saves in his last 14 appearances dating back to Aug. 30. He has allowed just six runs in his past 22 innings, with four of them coming Sept. 5 against Milwaukee.

Converts 13th save Gallegos pitched a perfect inning and struck out two to earn the save in an 8-5 win during the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.

Impact Gallegos continues to thrive in the closer role, as he's converted 10 of his 11 save chances in September. While he's allowed five runs in 11.2 innings this month, four of those came in one appearances versus Milwaukee. The right-hander is up to 13 saves and 24 holds while logging a 3.14 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 93:18 K:BB through 77.1 innings overall. St. Louis has won 14 straight games and leads Philadelphia by five games for the last wild-card spot in the NL, so Gallegos will likely continue to be counted on as the primary closer.

Locks down 12th save Gallegos earned the save Thursday by tossing a perfect inning against the Brewers with a pair of strikeouts.

Impact Tasked with protecting a three-run lead in the ninth, Gallegos finished things off with ease, sending Daniel Vogelbach and Willy Adames down on strikes in the process. The right-hander has successfully converted 10 of his last 11 save opportunities, improving his season stats to a 3.18 ERA and 0.86 WHIP.

Earns 11th save Gallegos allowed one hit, walked two and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against Milwaukee.

Impact Gallegos was protecting a one-run lead, and he managed to strand the bases loaded. The outing wasn't quite as shaky as it appears in the box score as he did intentionally walk Christian Yelich to load the bases with two outs. Gallegos has now converted nine of his last 10 save chances, though his ERA is inflated in that span due to a disastrous four-run outing Sept. 5 against the Brewers. He should continue to see the majority of save chances in St. Louis to close the season.

Dials up 10th save Gallegos recorded his 10th save in a win over the Padres on Sunday, firing a perfect ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Gallegos was called on for ninth-inning work for the second straight game and responded with another perfect final frame to seal a one-run win. The right-hander has been a hit since moving into the closer role in place of Alex Reyes, going a perfect 8-for-8 in save chances since Aug. 30 and generating scoreless efforts in eight of 10 trips to the mound during that span.

Notches ninth save Gallegos fired a perfect ninth inning while striking one to earn the save in the win over the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Gallegos entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He retired the side in order to pick up his ninth save of the season, a big performance where the Cardinals created even more room from the Padres in a multi-team race for the second wild-card spot. It was a solid outing after he blew a save in his previous appearance against the Mets. The 29-year-old has a 3.31 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 86 strikeouts in 73.1 innings this season.

Botches save chance Gallegos was charged with his eighth blown lead of the season after he gave up a run on one hit while striking out one over an inning of relief in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Mets i...

Impact Tasked with protecting a one-run advantage in the bottom of the ninth, Gallegos surrendered a leadoff home run to Javier Baez to send the game to extras. Alex Reyes entered the contest the following inning and was credited with the win, while Kwang Hyun Kim kept the Mets off the board in the bottom of the 11th to claim his first save. Since Reyes was transitioned out of the closer role earlier this month, Gallegos picked up four saves in dominant fashion before Tuesday's hiccup, so he still looks to be the Cardinals' top late-inning arm.

Nabs eighth save Gallegos recorded his eighth save of the season Sunday against the Reds after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and fanning two.

Impact Gallegos extended his streak of scoreless appearances to four and continues to dazzle, as he has gone 5-for-5 in save chances this month while also going 7-for-8 since the beginning of August. He had a woeful outing against the Brewers on Sep. 5, but he has been excellent other than that and has given up just five earned runs across 15 innings over his last 15 appearances since the last time he blew a save opportunity (Aug. 5).

Secures seventh save Gallegos pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out two batters to notch the save against the Reds on Saturday.

Impact Gallegos mowed down the first two batters he faced before inducing a groundout to close the contest. The right-hander has held opponents scoreless in six of his past seven outings, picking up five saves and two holds along with a 10:1 K:BB across 6.2 innings over that span. He is growing increasingly secure in his position as the team's closer, with Alex Reyes reportedly transitioning to a multi-inning relief role.
