Well, that was annoying. As we entered the seventh, the D-backs were holding on to a 1-0 lead, with Merrill Kelly having extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings, tying his career high. Sure. the D-backs had spurned a slew of chances to score more than the one run, but they had been kept in the lead by some crisp defense, and Kelly dialing up ground-balls in a way not seen since Brandon Webb was in his prime. But it turned out this couldn’t last, with the Rockies using anti-small ball, tying and scoring the go-ahead run in the eighth and ninth inning on a pair of solo home-runs.
