Giovanny Gallegos - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Collects sixth save Gallegos earned the save against the Dodgers on Thursday by tossing a perfect inning with two strikeouts.

Impact It was the second save in as many games for Gallegos, who seems to have taken over ninth-inning duties over Alex Reyes. The right-hander caused Cody Bellinger to fly out before punching out Corey Seager and Chris Taylor, protecting a one-run lead in the process. Gallegos now has six saves to his name to go with a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP.

Secures save Wednesday Gallegos earned the save over the Dodgers on Wednesday, striking out one batter in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

Impact The Cardinals elected to allow Adam Wainwright to try to finish off his own start with the team ahead 5-2 entering the ninth inning, but the veteran hurler faltered, allowing a run on three singles. Gallegos took over and surrendered a sacrifice fly, but he was able to strike out Chris Taylor to nail down the save. It was a much-needed bounceback performance after Gallegos allowed four runs in one frame in his previous appearance, and he appears to be the team's primary ninth-inning option with three saves in his past four outings.

Tagged with four runs Gallegos allowed four runs on three hits and a walk in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee. He struck out two batters in one inning of work.

Impact Gallegos was given the chance to record a five-out save Sunday. He finished off the eighth inning with ease before running into trouble in the ninth. He gave up a run before recording an out and then found himself in a bases-loaded jam. St. Louis elected to throw Alex Reyes on the mound after Gallegos' 30th pitch. Reyes immediately allowed a walkoff grand slam, charging Gallegos with three of those runs. With both of the teams' main closing options struggling, the Cardinals' closer role is still wide open. Gallegos now owns a 3.46 ERA through 67.2 innings.

Collects fourth save Gallegos struck out one in a perfect seventh inning Wednesday to record his fourth save of the season in the first game of a doubleheader against the Reds.

Impact Alex Reyes, meanwhile, worked mop-up duty in the nightcap. Gallegos has been scored upon only once in his last 10 appearances, posting a 0.87 ERA and 11:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings over that stretch with three saves and five holds, and he may have moved ahead of Reyes in the pecking order for saves in the Cards' bullpen.

Notches third save Gallegos struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning and earned a save over the Reds on Monday.

Impact Gallegos got the ninth-inning nod and wasted no time finishing off the 3-1 victory. It was his second save in August after going over three months since his first one on April 24. The 30-year-old righty is sporting a 3.02 ERA alongside a 74:15 K:BB through 65.2 innings. With Alex Reyes in the midst of a rough stretch, this may not be the last save Gallegos sees in 2021.

Grabs 22nd hold despite trouble Gallegos secured his 22nd hold in a win over the Pirates on Friday despite allowing an earned run on three hits over one inning.

Impact Gallegos created some trouble for himself by allowing a run on a Colin Moran single before recording an out. However, he bounced back to retire the next two batters and then was blessed with some good fortune when Moran was thrown out at the plate to end the frame. The right-hander did see a six-appearance scoreless streak snapped with Friday's stumble, but he still sports a 3.11 ERA and 0.90 WHIP alongside a 10.2 K/9 and a career-high holds tally.

Sets new career high in holds Gallegos secured his 20th hold in an extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Wednesday, allowing a hit and a walk while recording two strikeouts over a scoreless eighth inning.

Impact Gallegos worked around a bit of trouble of his own doing, throwing 26 pitches overall and only getting 15 into the strike zone. Nevertheless, he was able to preserve what was a one-run lead at the time and establish a new career high-water mark in holds. The right-hander has now rattled off four straight scoreless appearances after giving up three earned runs apiece in back-to-back outings Aug. 4 and 5.

Notches second save Gallegos fired a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in the win over the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Gallegos retired the side in order to secure his second save. It was a much-needed outing from him since he received a loss in his last two appearances. The 29-year-old has a 3.30 ERA and an impressive 0.80 WHIP in 57.1 innings. Gallegos may receive more future save opportunities given the recent struggles from Alex Reyes.

Dealt consecutive losses by Atlanta Gallegos (5-5) lost Thursday's 8-4 contest with Atlanta, allowing three runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.

Impact One night after blowing the lead, Gallegos entered in the eighth to protect a two-run lead and retired the first two Atlanta batters before surrendering three hits and two runs. Closer Alex Reyes was then brought in and permitted the inherited runner to score along with three runs of his own. Gallegos' 18 holds ranks fourth in baseball, though he has seven blown saves and has lost his last four decisions. The righty's ERA has ballooned to 3.36 after he concluded June at 1.93.

Impact The right-hander has rebounded nicely from dropping his third decision of the season back on July 23 and continues to profile as one of the top eighth-inning options in all of baseball. Gallegos was especially sharp Sunday, firing seven of eight pitches for strikes, three of those of the swing-and-miss variety.

Drops third decision Gallegos (5-3) was charged with the loss in Friday's defeat at the hands of the Reds, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over one inning.

Impact Charged with preserving a 5-5 tie when he entered in the eighth inning, Gallegos hurt his own cause immediately by allowing a leadoff single and committing a throwing error before ultimately surrendering what would prove to be a game-winning sacrifice fly. Despite getting dinged with the loss, Gallegos still owns an impressive 2.65 ERA and 0.69 WHIP across 43 appearances, although he's now allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last nine innings.
