The Diamondbacks were one out from beating the team with the best record in baseball, then they Diamondbacked it all up.
Taylor Clarke got shelled and Tyler Clippard was unable to staunch the wound before the Diamondbacks bled out.
It took Kelly only 102 pitches to record 24 scoreless outs. However, Torey Lovullo, concerned for Kelly’s arm health given recent events and Kelly’s own injury history, pulled Kelly in favour of the bullpen in the ninth inning. Taylor Clarke was blasted, giving up three runs without getting an out. Tyler Clippard relieved Clarke, but was only able to record two outs before the fourth and tying run crossed the plate.
