Snake Bytes 9/21: Sweeper Cell
Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK Diamondbacks News: [SI] Corbin Carroll crushes two big milestones in win over Giants Carroll’s big day, which included four hits, two stolen bases, and a home run, carried the D-backs through a game that started off as a pitcher’s duel between Logan Webb and Merrill Kelly. Kelly ended up outdueling Webb, holding the Giants to one run on three hits, three walks, and five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings. On a day he didn’t have his best stuff or command, he made three early runs stand to record his 17th quality start and...

Snake Bytes 9/5: Kelly Cramps His Own Style
Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK But Saalfrank ready to create his style Diamondbacks News [MLB] Kelly’s 12-K gem ends abruptly due to cramping by Steve Gilbert As he walked off the field, his work done for the day, D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly screamed into his glove, which he then promptly threw when he got back to the dugout. It was what you usually see from a pitcher who has had a rough start. For Kelly, though, it wasn’t the results that caused an issue, as he matched a career high with 12 strikeouts Monday afternoon in the D-backs’ 4-2...

Colorado Rockies game no. 137 thread: Peter Lambert vs Merrill Kelly
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports Maybe this time things will be different The Colorado Rockies have dropped eight-of-ten games against the Arizona Diamondbacks this season and are 8-22 since the start of August. Arizona has also struggled in the second-half of the season with a 21-33 mark since the start of July, but did enough legwork in the first three months to keep themselves in contention and currently sit in a three-way tie for the final Wild Card spot alongside the Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants. For the Rockies, it will be yet another opportunity to play...
