D-Backs 9, Rangers 1
- That was rough.
- And this is one of those instances where there’s not really that much to say about it. Merrill Kelly was really good for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and other than the Mitch Garver solo home run, he pretty much shut the Rangers down.
- There were complaints throughout the night about the strike zone, with Kelly getting several calls an inch or two off the plate glove side. Kelly was consistently hitting his spots, though, which is going to help in getting those calls. The extra inch or not, Kelly was on, and the Rangers couldn’t do much with him.
