Game Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks will reintroduce Merrill Kelly to their rotation on Sunday as they conclude a four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies in Phoenix. Kelly, who has been sidelined since April 23 due to a right shoulder strain, will make his season debut after a successful rehab outing at Single-A Hillsboro.
Manager Torey Lovullo expressed his excitement for Kelly’s return, noting his dedication to making it back to the mound. Kelly, with a 2-0 record and a 2.19 ERA this season, aims to continue his strong performance from earlier in the year, where he allowed no more than two runs in each of his first four starts.
The Diamondbacks, who crushed the Phillies 11-1 on Saturday, are looking for their eighth consecutive series win. Arizona has been in outstanding form since June 29, boasting a 26-11 record. The team’s recent success has been powered by their impressive home run rate, with 66.7% of their runs in August coming from long balls.
Jake McCarthy contributed two homers in Saturday’s game, marking his first career multi-homer game, while Ketel Marte hit his 30th home run of the season. However, Marte’s availability for Sunday is uncertain due to a bruised left ankle sustained in Saturday’s game.
Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sanchez (8-7, 3.27 ERA) will oppose Kelly, aiming to improve the Phillies’ recent struggles at the plate. Despite a strong outing against the Dodgers earlier in the week, the Phillies have only managed three runs on 10 hits in their past two losses. Phillies manager Rob Thomson emphasized the need for better fundamentals and contact at the plate.
Kelly had mixed results against Philadelphia in last season’s NLCS, and Sanchez has also had a varied performance history against the Diamondbacks, with one scoreless outing and a less favorable record in previous matchups.
