Diamondbacks take series opener against the Rockies

Merrill Kelly was absolutely masterful, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies.

In total, Kelly tossed seven innings while allowing just one earned run on four hits. Kelly also struck out 12 batters, which tied a career high.

This excellent starting performance allowed Torey Lovullo to only use two relievers, which is key considering the Diamondbacks are currently in a grueling 17-game stretch in as many days.
