.....Gallardo is 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in three career starts against Pittsburgh, striking out 21 in 17 innings.
He's been pretty effective on the mound as well. Gallardo pitched six scoreless innings on April 18 at New York, then delivered the finest start of his career his last time out. He pitched his first complete game Friday at Houston, allowing five hits and striking out seven in a 5-2 victory.
