Yovani Gallardo allowed just three hits and two runs over six innings Wednesday, but two of his four walks came back to bite him in a loss to the Pirates.
Gallardo got a strikeout after Starling Marte's leadoff double in the sixth, but he then walked a pair of batters and Neil Walker made him pay with a two-RBI single. The right-hander struck out five on the night and, all things considered, it was a nice showing in what has been an up-and-down year. He'll take a 4.50 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into next week's start against the Dodgers. May 15 - 10:42 PM

Yovani Gallardo labored in Friday's start against the Reds, giving up three runs on five hits and five walks over four innings.

It was his shortest outing of the season. Gallardo really struggled with his control, throwing just 53 out of 100 pitches for strikes. With a 4.70 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through eight starts, Gallardo hasn't been able to get on a sustained roll in the early part of the season. He'll hope to be more efficient next week against the Pirates.
May 10 - 11:22 PM

Yovani Gallardo surrendered four earned runs in six innings Saturday as the Brewers fell to the Cardinals.

Gallardo is now 1-10 with a 6.77 ERA in his career against St. Louis. He gave up six hits -- including home runs to Jon Jay and Allen Craig -- while watching his season ERA jump from 4.25 to 4.50. The right-hander has another tough matchup next week in Cincinnati.
May 4 - 7:23 PM

Yovani Gallardo allowed two runs -- one earned -- in seven innings and homered Monday in the Brewers' 10-4 win over the Pirates.

The homer was Gallardo's second of this season and 12th in 319 career at-bats. He's also been better on the mound, winning three in a row after a rough start to the year. He's gone five straight starts without allowing a home run.
Apr 29 - 11:25 PM

Yovani Gallardo picked up a win after allowing three runs in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday against the Padres.

Gallardo walked five, but a lot of that was just Gary Darling doing a lousy job calling balls and strikes. Gallardo still doesn't seem to be at his best, but his last two starts have been significantly better than his first three.
Apr 24 - 1:38 AM

Yovani Gallardo limited the Giants to one run over six innings Thursday in the Brewers' 7-2 victory.

It was Gallardo's first outing since his Tuesday morning DUI arrest and he pitched with a purpose all afternoon. The 27-year-old righty scattered five hits and one walk while racking up six strikeouts. He will carry a 1-1 record, 5.24 ERA and 1.57 WHIP into his next start in San Diego.
Apr 18 - 5:17 PM

According to Drew Olson of ESPN Wisconsin, Yovani Gallardo was arrested early Tuesday morning in Milwaukee and cited with a DUI.

Gallardo was pulled over for driving slowly and deviating lanes, then failed a field sobriety test and registered a blood-alcohol level of .22, which is nearly three times the legal limit in Wisconsin. Gallardo will not receive jail time, but was cited with multiple fines. He is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against the Giants, but it's not clear if the arrest will cause the Brewers to make a change.
Apr 16 - 10:43 AM

Yovani Gallardo surrendered six runs -- five earned -- over 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Gallardo's struggles against St. Louis continue. Gallardo was fairly sharp through the first five frames but the dangerous Cardinals offense rattled off seven runs -- four of which were charged to Gallardo -- in the bottom of the sixth. Gallardo will face the Cubs next and should have a much easier time.
Apr 13 - 7:03 PM

Yovani Gallardo allowed four runs on nine hits over six innings in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Gallardo has shown diminished velocity in both of his starts this season, but he's just working through some early struggles. He wasn't at his best again on Sunday, and finished with only three strikeouts in the no-decision. Gallardo will look to get back on track this weekend against the Cardinals.
Apr 7 - 6:39 PM

Yovani Gallardo yielded three runs in five innings on Opening Day against the Rockies.

Gallardo gave up 10 hits and one walk and notched three strikeouts. All three runs scored via the home run ball, including a two-run shot by Troy Tulowitzki and a solo blast by Carlos Gonzalez. Gallardo has gotten off to slow starts in each of the past two seasons, so we wouldn't worry too much about some early struggles.
Apr 1 - 5:47 PM

Yovani Gallardo allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in the Brewers' 9-1 victory over the Royals.

It was the last start for the 27-year-old before Opening Day, and it was a promising one. Gallardo had scuffled early in Cactus League play but finished strong, allowing just five baserunners on the afternoon. He'll wind up with a spring ERA of 3.54.
Mar 27 - 6:55 PM

Yovani Gallardo was solid Friday in his latest tuneup for Opening Day, allowing only an unearned run over 5 1/3 innings.

Gallardo held the Cubs to just four hits -- all singles -- while walking two and striking out four. It was nice to see, as he had allowed seven runs in 8 2/3 innings over his first three Grapefruit League starts. His walk rate may hold him back from being an elite fantasy option, but he's a fine No. 2 starter for most mixed league staffs.
Mar 22 - 7:02 PM

Yovani Gallardo has been cleared to start for Mexico on Friday night against Team USA.

It's the World Baseball Classic opener for both teams. Gallardo had been bothered by a mild right groin strain, but he tossed an inning Tuesday in an exhibition game against the Diamondbacks and it went well. "I felt good," Gallardo said about his 24-pitch outing. "I threw mostly fastballs. A couple of sliders, a changeup and a curveball. But I felt fine." He will be facing Team USA's R.A. Dickey.
Mar 6 - 9:17 AM

Yovani Gallardo (groin) threw a successful bullpen session Sunday.

Gallardo is still on track to play for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. However, it's not clear if the Brewers will ask him to make another appearance in spring training before he leaves. Gallardo was scratched from his start Sunday due to groin tightness, but the injury doesn't appear to be a major concern at this point.
Mar 3 - 7:30 PM

Yovani Gallardo has been scratched from his next scheduled spring start due to groin tightness.

The injury occurred during Tuesday's loss to the Mariners. While this isn't believed to be a major setback, Gallardo's status for the World Baseball Classic could be in jeopardy. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Gallardo will throw a bullpen session Sunday to test his groin and the Brewers are hoping that he'll be ready to return by early next week.
