Merrill Kelly Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly was terrific on Thursday, tossing seven shutout frames in a 5-0 win over the Brewers. The 33-year-old struck out seven on the night while giving up just four singles and walking no one to improve his record to 12-5 on the season. Kelly retired the last eight batters he faced as he continues his excellent bounce-back season by sporting a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 142/48 K/BB through 164 2/3 innings pitched. He'll look to keep his strong season going next week when his club travels to San Diego to take on the Padres.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have determined that starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly aren't going anywhere at this year's trade deadline. There has been a little interest in veteran left-hander Madison Bumgarner, but nothing serious yet. Gallen has a no-decision in seven of his last outings, but he's been solid for the D-backs all year, posting a 3.24 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 101:29 K:BB over 105 2/3 innings. Kelly has been even better, going 10-5 with a 2.87 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 104:38 K:BB in 125 1/3 innings in his fourth MLB season. In the month of July, he went 4-0 with a 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 33 K's and eight walks in 41 1/3 innings over his six starts. It makes sense why Arizona would want to hang onto both of these starters.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He surrendered a leadoff homer to Mookie Betts but rebounded by preventing the Dodgers from scoring until the fifth inning. The 33-year-old has allowed three earned runs or less in all, but one of his 10 starts this season. He owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 47:20 K: BB across 54 innings in 2022. Kelly can be used as a streamer in his next start on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
