Yovani Gallardo charged with loss

Yovani Gallardo (5-9) was charged with the loss Sunday as the Rays blanked Seattle 3-0. He pitched 6 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs on five hits while walking three and striking out six.

Fantasy Implications: Gallardo was vanquished by the long ball, surrendering a leadoff homer to Kevin Kiermaier, and a two-run shot in the seventh inning to light-hitting Adeiny Hechavarria. The veteran right-hander from Michoacan, Mexico now sports an ugly 5.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.  Fantasy owners should tread lightly before inserting him into their lineups. Gallardo is next scheduled to start on Saturday against New York in Yankee Stadium.
