Zac Gallen's Road Struggles Continue, Diamondbacks Get Blown Out

<p>Despite being a frontrunner for the <strong>National League Cy Young</strong> award for most of the season, <strong>Zac Gallen</strong> of the <strong>Arizona Diamondbacks</strong> has struggled immensely on the road. Entering the game against the <strong>New York Mets</strong>, Gallen&#8217;s road statistics were concerning, with a bloated ERA of 4.36 away from home. Those statistics underscored a pattern that Mets fans were all too happy to see continue.</p>
<p>Yesterday, those road struggles reared their ugly head for Gallen as the <strong>Mets</strong> capitalized on his vulnerabilities. <strong>New York</strong> secured a convincing win, charging Gallen with six runs. The Mets scored seven times, showing their offensive prowess and holding the D-backs to just a single run—the final score: Mets 7, Diamondbacks 1.</p>
<p>For those who put their money on the Diamondbacks based on betting odds, hoping that their ace would pull them through, it was a disappointing outcome. Rather than looking like the Cy Young contender he&#8217;s been for most of the season, it seemed that Gallen resembled a pitcher struggling to find his rhythm. Comparatively, <b>the Mets </b>pitchers had no issue on this night. </p>
<p>The game also highlighted some promising moments for the Mets&#8217; offense. <strong>Pete Alonso</strong>, the Mets&#8217; power-hitting first baseman, was particularly effective, driving in three runs.</p>
<p>The outcome is certainly a letdown for the <strong>Arizona Diamondbacks</strong> and their fans. Sending out your ace is typically a strategy to secure a win, especially during challenging times. Instead, they witnessed their top pitcher falter, and the team lost a blowout.</p>
<p>As for the <strong>Mets</strong>, this victory adds to their momentum. While this season might not be their year, performances like these give fans hope for the future. And for <strong>Pete Alonso</strong> and <strong>Joey Lucchesi</strong>, their standout performances remind everyone of the talent present in the Mets&#8217; roster.</p>
<p>For now, it&#8217;s back to the drawing board for the Diamondbacks and Gallen, while the Mets will look to build on this dominant performance.</p>
