Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly allowed four runs three earned on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 6 1/3 innings of work in an 8-3 loss to the Dodgers. It was yet another quality start for Kelly, who has now recorded one in five of his last eight starts. He got off to a rough start this year, but he's recorded his best numbers of the season in the month of July, where he's gone 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 29 strikeouts in 38 innings of work. He'll look to keep things rolling his next time out against the Giants.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly (shoulder) expects to make his next start. He was hit in the left shoulder by a 108.7 MPH line drive from the Angels' two-way star Shohei Ohtani during Friday's game. Kelly was left with a contusion on his left shoulder. He allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six across five innings during Friday's 6-5 loss against the Angels. The 32-year-old did not factor into the decision. The player known as "Mert" owns a 5.14 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts across 75.1 innings in 2021. Kelly is expected to make his next start on Wednesday in San Francisco but is mainly a streamer in deep-league and NL-only formats.
