Mariners' Yovani Gallardo: Struggles with control in loss Friday

Gallardo (2-5) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and six walks through 5.1 innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to Boston. He struck out five.

The walks haunted Gallardo in this contest, raising his pitch count to a gaudy 112 through only 5.1 innings. Control issues have hurt Gallardo all season, as evidenced by his 4.1 BB/9. He remains a matchup streaming option at best. Gallardo will take the mound again Thursday at home against Colorado.
