Kelly matched a career-high with 12 strikeouts in seven sterling innings before leaving with a hamstring cramp and the Diamondbacks remained in the thick of the NL wild-card race with a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Merrill Kelly stepped off the mound and screamed into his glove as he headed toward the dugout after one pitch in the eighth inning.Frustrating? Yes, but the Arizona right-hander was dominating before that.
Kelly has struggled with leg cramps at Chase Field for about a month, including against Cincinnati on Aug. 24. He had no trouble with cramping against the Dodgers in his last start despite a rare shaky performance, but the issue cropped up again back home in the desert. "In about the second or third inning. I said he’s got no-hit stuff today, just felt that energy," Lovullo said. "I felt the direction of his pitches and the shape and finish of his pitches was outstanding."
Kelly added four more strikeouts over the next two innings before his hamstring cut his outing short.
