Diamondbacks at Athletics, 7:05 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34
Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (7-12, 5.60) vs. Athletics RHP J.T. Ginn (2-2, 3.89).
At Sutter Health Park: Gallen had been a candidate to be traded at the deadline, but the Diamondbacks wound up holding onto him after failing to receive the type of offer they needed to be compelled to move him. … He last pitched over the weekend in Pittsburgh, giving up four runs in six innings in a start that has been typical for him. Close to being a good outing, a couple of batters here and there spoiled his day. … In three career starts against the A’s, Gallen has a 1.06 ERA with two runs allowed in 17 innings. He last faced them in 2024, firing six scoreless innings. … Ginn fired six scoreless innings against the Astros in his most recent start, giving up just three hits, walking none and striking out four. … He averages about 94 mph with his sinker and relies heavily on his slider, eliciting a 32% whiff rate on the pitch. … Originally selected by the Mets in the second round of the 2020 draft, Ginn has made only 21 big league appearances in parts of two seasons and has never faced the Diamondbacks.
