Diamondbacks News
Merrill Kelly returned to form with a stellar outing, leading the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, after entering the game with a dismal 9.95 ERA this season. This performance is a much-needed boost for a team that has struggled lately, sitting at 17-20 with a recent 1-6 skid. Kelly's seven innings of dominance showcased the potential this team has when their pitching staff steps up. With Ildemaro Vargas continuing to heat up at the plate, the bats might finally be awakening. However, the Diamondbacks can't afford to rely solely on their pitching, the offense must find consistency if they want to climb back into contention. As they prepare for another matchup against the Mets, the D-backs need to harness this momentum and show they're ready to turn the season around.
