The Rockies took a much-needed day off yesterday after finishing up their series with the Dodgers, and will now try to get back to their winning ways as they kick off July with a three-game series against the division rival Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks rotation has been a godsend this season, and Merrill Kelly (6-5, 3.64 ERA) has been a chief part of it. Pitching to an incredible 1.27 ERA in April before regressing to a 6.31 ERA in May and evening out to a 3.60 ERA in June, Kelly has had an up-and-down season thus far but has remained a constant in Arizona’s rotation.
