The Dbacks were just plain robbed in this one… Literally. Merrill Kelly pitched perhaps the best game of his Dbacks career while the offense was robbed of a home run not once but twice!
The story of the game was Merrill Kelly who came out throwing darts! 3 of the fastest 4 pitches of his career were thrown tonight as he was consistently hitting 95-96 early in this game. Its crazy how much Kelly’s changeup drops when he is throwing it hard like he was today at 90-91 mph. This could be a developing trend for Kelly. Torey credited the increased velocity to the extra days rest a couple of days ago.
