Merrill Kelly had his penultimate outing before the regular season, and seems to be shaping into form nicely. He went 3.1 scoreless innings on 64 pitches, allowing four singles and a walk, while striking out seven batters. Jake Rice got the final two outs in the fourth, then Paul Sewald and Kyle Nelson also tossed scoreless frames, as the D-backs kept the A’s off the board through seven. Logan Allen was responsible for the seventh, but had a bit of a melt-down in the eighth, allowing four hits, a stolen-base and a balk, as Oakland scored three times to tie up the game.
