The main story of the night was Merrill Kelly, a 30-year old making his MLB debut, looking dominant until late. Kelly let his foot off the gas (or ran out of gas) in the 6th inning, after helping to build a 9-0 Arizona lead, and gave up 3 runs before handing it off to the Diamondbacks bullpen.
Until that 6th inning, the only Padres player to get a hit was Franchy Cordero, who did it twice despite not starting the game for San Diego. Depending on where you come down on the glass half-filled or half-empty, that’s either a sign that Kelly had great stuff on Monday night or that the Padres’ offense has some real question marks.
