It had been a rough last go through the rotation for Arizona’s starting pitchers. Over the past six games, their average game score was just 31.2, with 30 earned runs given up over 29 innings. Little wonder the team had gone 1-5, the win coming in the only decent start, by Zach Davies. To drive home the importance of good starts, this year, the D-backs were 32-6 when their starter posts a Game Score of 63 or better. Make it 33-6 now, Merrill Kelly throwing seven innings of one-run ball and tying a career high with a dozen strikeouts.
