Merrill Kelly allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings in a win over the Red Sox.
The right-hander struck out five and walked three on the day. While Kelly did allow seven hits, only two of them did real damage, home runs to Triston Casas and Rafael Devers. Despite trailing 4-0 at one point, the Diamondbacks’ offense rallied back to get Kelly a win. He hasn’t been crisp in his return from the IL, allowing 12 earned runs in 16 innings, and had just an 18 percent whiff rate and 21 percent CSW on the day. He’ll now carry a 3.98 ERA into a rough stretch that has him facing the Dodgers, Giants, and Rangers. He’s not a must-hold in 12-team formats right now.
