Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo delivers walk-off double to beat Orioles
Live by the intentional walk, die by the intentional walk.
The Brewers used five bench players earlier in the game, and with two outs, nobody on and Milwaukee pitcher Francisco Rodriguez on deck, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter elected to intentionally walk Mark Reynolds to force the Brewers' hand.
They turned to Gallardo, a lifetime .202/.230/.348 hitter entering Tuesday with 12 career home runs, for his fifth career pinch-hitting appearance. Gallardo launched a double to center field, his 20th career double in 424 career plate appearances, to score Reynolds for the walk-off win.
There will be no rest for the weary though, as Gallardo will get more chances to hit and pitch on Wednesday against the Orioles, as noted by Brewers public relations rep Mike Vassallo:
Tomorrow will be Yovani Gallardo's first career start on zero days rest. Wink wink. #Brewers
