Merrill Kelly Handles Athletics For Fourth Win
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly went seven strong innings in a victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday. He allowed just one run and punched out nine hitters. The 30-year-old has been one of the most consistent starting pitchers in baseball this season, watching his ERA touch only 3.42 at its worst point of the year on April 22 across nine starts. Kelly owns an outstanding 2.42 ERA with three wins and 30 strikeouts over his last four appearances. The workhorse also sports a career-high 26.6% strikeout rate overall. Kelly looks to keep up his prolific start to the year on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup, an offense scoring an insipid 1.7 runs per game over their last 13 outings.
