Who needs the other 8 guys on the team? This guy can do it all!

Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo pulled off an interesting feat today, beating the Pirates with 11 strikeouts in eight innings and providing his own support with a homer in the seventh inning off Ian Snell. It was Gallardo’s second homer this year — he hit one off Randy Johnson in San Francisco on April 8 — and his fourth in 29 major league games.
