PHOENIX -- In college at North Carolina, Zac Gallen was given the nickname "The Milkman" in part because of his last name, but also because he always delivered.
Wednesday night at Chase Field, when the D-backs needed their ace the most, he did indeed deliver as he struck out a season-high 11 in Arizona's 8-2 win over the Giants.
With the win, the D-backs are now tied with the Mets for the second NL Wild Card spot, and they have a one-game lead over the Braves.
The D-backs came into the game having lost three straight games and were in desperate need of a win to stop the negative momentum.

Gallen allowed just two hits and one run over six innings of work, and his offense gave him some early runs to work with, scoring three runs in the second inning.
