Yovani Gallardo pitches eight shutout innings and hits a solo home run for the only run of the game as the Brewers defeat the Pirates 1-0. He performed like CC Sabathia’s replacement today, striking out 11 and walking one while allowing two hits.
Update: It’s the first 1-0 game won by the starting pitcher’s home runs since 8/28/2002, when Odalis Perez homered off Rick Helling to lead the Dodgers over the Diamondbacks. It’s the seventh time it’s happened in the last 50 years, with Early Winn, Milt Pappas, Jim Bunning, Juan Pizarro and Bob Welch also completing the feat.
