Merrill Kelly pitched his 3rd straight good game, getting into the 6th inning and allowing just two runs. Pavin Smith hit a long two run homer in the 5th and the offense exploded for four runs in the 8th, highlighted by a Stephen Vogt triple breaking a 4-4 tie, sealing the series win for the Diamondbacks against the Rockies.
T-1 Merrill Kelly pitching. Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Raimel Tapia lead off with an infield hit. Garrett Hampson bunted him over to 2nd and Trevor Story struck out. With first base open Kelly worked carefully to Ryan McMahon walking him, and then caught Matt Adams looking to end the threat with 16 pitches thrown.
