When Jim informed me of the doubleheader last night with Hurricane Hilary barreling down on Southern California, I was hoping to recap a Merrill Kelly vs. Yu Darvish showdown. Unexpected for me Torey Lovullo decided to throw Kelly in for the first game of the day, so my feelings coming into this contest were a little less optimistic. Although he is in the middle of what could be considered a down year for him, he has historically been a tough opponent for the Diamondbacks. Arizona meanwhile went with a bullpen game for the night cap, and the four pitchers they used tonight did an incredible job of suppressing San Diego’s offense.
