Gallardo earned the win behind seven shutout innings Monday against the Dodgers. He struck out four, walked three, and allowed four hits. Gallardo is on a five-start run of excellence in which he has thrown at least six innings and allowed no more than two earned runs and no more than five hits. Gallardo's reinvention as a groundballer since his velocity dropped in 2013 has continued this season: he has a career high 54.5 percent ground ball rate through 14 starts, a key factor behind his five consecutive homerless starts. This approach is serving him as he adapts to a new phase of his career, but it has cost fantasy owners valuable strikeouts -- his K/9 dropped to 6.8 after Monday's start, tying a career low set last year.
