Diamondbacks and Cardinals postponed due to rain

McGreevy did his part, but neither team scored until the eighth in the Marlins’ 4-0 victory. It was McGreevy’s 10th quality start of the year, but he remained 3-6 with a 3.12 ERA. Meanwhile, Andre Pallante has gone 9-4 while giving up four more runs in 6 2/3 fewer innings for the same team. McGreevy will likely make his next start Wednesday or Thursday against the Braves.

Gallen, who failed to strike out a batter on Friday, ran into trouble early in this one. A walk to Yandy Díaz in the first inning was followed by him hitting Jonathan Aranda with a pitch to put runners on first and second. In the next at-bat, Gallen was taken 455 feet to center field by Junior Caminero to give the Rays a 3-1 lead before Gallen could record an out. Gallen would get through the next five innings without allowing a run, but was hit around again in the seventh inning, allowing a solo homer to Cedric Mullins while also giving RBI hits to Días and Aranda. The righty continues to struggle as he now falls to 3-7 on the season and finds himself sitting on a 6.15 ERA at the end of June. He’ll look to turn things around in his next start, which is scheduled for Wednesday against the Giants.

Remember how some pundits thought it was a good idea to give Gallen a multiyear deal as a free agent over the winter? The warning signs were all obvious, and he’s 3-6 with a 6.10 ERA through 16 starts this year. The D-backs have to stick with him after losing two of their other starters to the IL, but only a modest rebound should be expected at this point. He’ll make his next start Thursday in St. Louis.

McGreevy was mostly unscathed in this start despite completely unraveling in the fourth inning. He gave up four of his five runs in that frame and just could not seem to find a put-away pitch. All four of the Royals hits that inning came with two strikes and McGreevy had two strikes on the one hitter he walked as well. Such is the problem with McGreevy having a deep arsenal with solid command, but unable to miss bats consistently. He’ll take a 3.35 ERA, 53 strikeouts, and 20 walks across 83 1/3 innings so far this season into his next scheduled start against the Diamondbacks at home.

Gallen struck out four and walked two, allowing two homers as the Diamondbacks went on to win 5-3. JJ Bleday and Noelvi Marte each tagged him for a solo shot on the afternoon. The right-hander re-signed with Arizona on a one-year deal this past offseason and will become a free agent again after the year. His next outing comes at home against the Twins.

McGreevy allowed just a two-run homer in the fourth to Victor Caratini, and exited after six innings with a 4-2 lead. The Twins would score the next three, so it’s a hard-luck no-decision for the former first-round pick. McGreevy walked two and struck out two, and saw his ERA remain 2.99 in the process. He’ll be back on the bump next Friday in a scheduled start against the Royals in Kansas City.

There was a little speculation that the D-backs might be ready to DFA Gallen after he struggled against the Dodgers last time out. It seemed like reach then and it’s probably still a reach now, but it’s just hard to find optimism at this point. Gallen has a 5.43 ERA and just 48 strikeouts in 69 2/3 innings through 14 starts. He’ll face the Angels next week. which seems like good news for Mike Trout and companty.

McGreevy gave up five hits, walked none and struck out five. The 25-year-old allowed solo home runs to Matt McClain and Tyler Stephenson in the third inning, but otherwise wasn’t scored on. He has a 2.99 ERA as his excellent season continues. McGreevy will face the Twins on the road next weekend.

Gallen’s K rate, which already plummeted from 25 percent in 2024 to 21.5 percent in 2025, is down to 15 percent this year, and nothing here is going to get much better unless he figures out how to turn that around. He’s sitting at 3-5 with a 5.32 ERA through 13 starts. He’ll pitch on the road against the Marlins and Reds next week, but he seems like a poor bet in mixed leagues then.

While it’s a third straight loss for McGreevy, this was a better performance than the other two, even if he did notch just one strikeout. Aided by two double plays, he got his 18 outs on 84 pitches. McGreevy is now 3-5 with a 2.98 ERA. He’ll take on the Reds on Sunday.
