Gallardo mistakes lead to Dodgers win over Brewers

Pirates Snap Gallardo's Winning Streak

From Elias: Yovani Gallardo allowed only two runs and three hits in six innings of work but was saddled with the loss as Milwaukee dropped a 3-1 decision to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. That snapped Gallardo's streak of seven consecutive wins against the Pirates dating back to April of 2010. Only three other active pitchers had a seven-game winning streak against Pittsburgh at some point in their career: Chris Carpenter (10 from 2004 to 2009), Derek Lowe (10 from 2003 to 2010) and Johnny Cueto (7 from 2009 to 2010).

MLB - One-Sided Matchup

Adam Wainwright and Yovani Gallardo will face off for the 4th time as starting pitchers, and Wainwright has had the upper hand. On April 13 this season, he threw a 4-hit shutout with 12 K and 0 BB against Gallardo and the Brewers.

Brewers Belt 5 Homers And 3 Triples

From Elias: The Brewers belted five home runs and three triples in their 10-4 victory over the Pirates. They became the first team since the 1958 Giants to hit at least five homers and three or more triples in one game. San Francisco did that in a 16-9 win against the Dodgers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Willie Mays hit two homers and two triples in that game. The only player since then to hit two homers and two triples in the same game was the Tigers' Dmitri Young in 2003. Yovani Gallardo hit his 12th career home run on Monday night and it was his fourth against the Pirates. Over the last 25 years, only one other pitcher hit four or more homers against one team: Carlos Zambrano hit seven against the Reds and six against the Astros.

Fantasy Facts - Gallardo's declining velocity

Yovani Gallardo has struck out only 9.3 percent of batters in plate appearances ending in his fastball, down from 22.3 percent last season. Gallardo's average fastball velocity is 90.8 MPH this season, down nearly a mile per hour from last year's average (91.7).

Gallardo Homers And Wins (as Usual)

Yovani Gallardo recorded his first win and hit his first home run of the season as the Brewers completed a three-game series sweep of the Giants on Thursday afternoon. Gallardo earned the victory by pitching six innings and allowing only one run, and he slugged a two-run homer in the second inning off Matt Cain. It was the 11th home run of Gallardo's seven-year major-league career; the only other big-leaguer in double-figures for home runs as a pitcher since 2007 is Carlos Zambrano (14). When Gallardo homers he and the Brewers almost always win. Milwaukee has won 10 of the 11 games in which Gallardo has hit a home run and his personal record is 9-1 with one no-decision.
