Diamondbacks News
Merrill Kelly delivered a standout performance by throwing his first career complete game, leading the Diamondbacks to a decisive 9-1 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field. This was a much-needed boost for Arizona, which has been struggling at the plate, averaging just 2.9 runs per game over the last week. With this win, the D-backs improved to 21-22, maintaining a competitive edge in the division. Ildemaro Vargas continues to shine, hitting .331, while Corbin Carroll holds steady at .266. The team's pitching has shown promise, allowing only 3.1 runs per game lately, but the offense still needs to find consistency to support the solid mound work. The upcoming series against the Rockies presents an opportunity to build momentum.
