Merrill Kelly Will Start on Sunday
Merrill Kelly will start on Sunday against the Miami Marlins, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Jacob Latz is listed as the Rangers' starter, but plans have changed after the left-hander threw 16 pitches and two-thirds of an inning in relief in a loss to the Marlins on Friday. Kelly will look to rebound after struggling through one of his worst starts of the season in a 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros on Sept. 16. The Astros knocked him around for six earned runs on nine hits and a walk over three innings. He'll enter Sunday's matchup with Miami 12-8 with a 3.46 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and 163:48 K:BB across 179 2/3 frames. Kelly faced the Marlins twice this season while with the Arizona Diamondbacks and combined to allow four earned runs on nine hits and and two walks (with an impressive 16 strikeouts) in 11 innings.
