Diamondbacks at Rangers live updates. Gallen tries to keep streak alive

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Diamondbacks meet the Texas Rangers in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday, May 12.

Opening Day starter Zac Gallen tries to keep the Diamondbacks rotation's string of strong starts going. In a 1-0 victory Monday night, May 11, right-hander Michael Soroka worked 6 1/3 innings, the seventh consecutive game in which a Diamondbacks starter worked at least six innings.

Gallen faces a team against which he has found success. In six regular-season starts against the Rangers, Gallen has a 2.67 ERA. He faced them twice last season, giving up three runs in 11 innings.

Early May 12, the Diamondbacks traded struggling outfielder Alek Thomas to the Los Angeles Dodgers, sources confirmed, in exchange for a lower-level prospect.
