MILWAUKEE (AP) -Yovani Gallardo could be the Game 1 starter for the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL playoffs against Philadelphia, even though he’s made just one major league appearance since May 1.
Gallardo returned from a torn knee ligament and pitched four innings last Thursday against Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one run and three hits while throwing 67 pitches.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, preparing for his team’s first postseason appearance since 1982, said a final decision on the rotation and postseason roster won’t be made until after Tuesday’s workout in Philadelphia.
Gallardo had a 1.88 ERA and no record in four starts this season after going 9-5 with a 3.67 ERA in 2007. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee just before spring training, then hurt his right knee while trying to hurdle a baserunner against the Chicago Cubs.
in the first-round last year. Brett Myers (10-13) and Jamie Moyer (16-7) follow in the Phillies’ rotation.
