Diamond Backs back early today after win over the Rangers here last night and now a chance to sweep both games in this two game set after dropping their two games at Texas earlier this year rightand meral Kelly seven Innings only two runs allowed at San Francisco last Thursday and he called it definitely a game to build on as he works his way back from that four-month layoff and as I mentioned in the open of the show they really need Merill because he is the one starting pitcher that can give them Innings he can pitch into the seventh into the eighth if he keeps his pitch count down one pitch and a roll to third for Suarez and a good start for Merill Kelly doesn't get much better than that one pitch one out you can't retire anybody on zero pitches you have to throw at least one wait there's got to be a way one out that brings up the left-handed hitting Josh Smith swung on and that's a bouncing ball to Second picked up by catel and he throws in time now two down on four pitches very economical stuff here from Kelly early 02 from Merill Kelly right there what a start for Merill the main State and that's as good as it gets from Merill Kelly and a one two three top of the first we go to the bottom of the first inning for Cody Bradford foring fast ball change up curveball and slider ley's first pitch and this one is blasted by Third Base Marte is aboard he'll scramble out to second base as lford rallies it back in so that's quite the start for Arizona see if Cody can can get out of this situation here comes the 20- pitch from Bradford and Carol swings hits a Fly ball to fairly deep left center field that is going to be over the head of taras it'll one hop the wall Carol turns around second he's going to try for third here's the throw not in time RBI triple by Corbin Carroll and the Diamondbacks out in front early it's one nothing amazing how the ball just jumps off this kid's bat I mean it looked like it was going to be a line drive out to center field and the next thing you know out in center field taras has turns his back and he knows he can't catch up with it I mean just ripped on this ball and then the great speed by Carol gets all the way to third Randall 276 he's got eight home runs this year and as he stands in right now he's sitting on 199 career home runs gret there it goes number 200 for Randall 420 ft for I is fifth Homer in his last 11 games a big finish for Randall in a three nothing Diamond Back lead well they've started off double triple home run Christian Walker might bun for base hit here had the cycle on the first four hitters love it another middle of the plate mistake from Bradford and boy the Diamondbacks are jumping all over these middle of the plate mistakes Randall GIC with a long home run to left field Yano Suarez leads off the bottom of the second Deb's already in front three nothing 2 two pitch swung on oh my goodness High deep drive out to left field 10 maybe 20 rows back and gone and Suarez another home run his 27th it's a 4 nothing diamondb lead he just keeps going I mean just the March right now to 100 rbi's and just another home run I mean he has just been unbelievable all right nice catch young man we like it a diamond back fan got it way back into bleachers left field del Castillo sends one out there to the Gap and that's going to get to the wall Adrien del Castillo a double good start to the second and here is the guy who has hit more homers against left-hand pitchers than any player in baseball canel Martin he's two for two and it's five nothing Diamond Backs tell backto Back Games Day game after a night game playing defense for the first time so far today a double and a single but i' like this version of merrow a little bit better I mean he's got the ability to strike guys out but when he just like starts dotting you know the inside the outside up in the zone down in the zone really keeps hitters off balance no balls two strikes they count here to taras and the pitch strike three fast ball right at the bottom of the strike zone and he had T is completely fooled just doesn't know what's coming Merl any pitch any count and he's got five different pitches two outs top of the order here is Marcus Simeon the payoff Simeon clubs that deep out to left gritch back near the wall that one is gone 20th of the year for Marcus Simeon the Rangers are on the board and it's 5 to one and the ball always carries well here in Arizona and that ball no doubt about 10 rows deep now Smith with a weak roller down to First and Walker takes care of him himself Texas on the board after two and a half Kelly looks pretty good here early on he allow the one hit the home run by in and walked one but that's it and that ball is out over short base hit so Langford is aboard well that's how you have to come back is get that lead off guy on base put some pressure there's a shot out into center field that gets down base hit but back to- back singles to start this fourth inning so now low and he hits this one on the ground that one suing a right field base hit lford around third he heads to the plate he'll score and it's three consecutive singles for Texas in this fourth inning they get another run back and it's now 5 to2 you know the home run to Simeon the base hit to Langford Merill can really pin that one on himself he left those pitches middle of the plate those last two hits a little bit unlucky Rangers get a run on three hits but Kelly settles in nicely and we go to the bottom of the fourth inning Randazzo back there Diamond Backs one through three hitters so far four for six they've scored Arte hits a Fly ball left field and there it goes welcome back catel Marte and this is all Diamondbacks today three for three for catel that's his 31st and is 17th against a left-hand pitcher no one in the majors has more against Lefty double in scored in the first an RBI single in the second and now a three-run homer in the fourth Bradford's not going to get through the fourth three and 2/3 today and it was a rough go rangers trailing 8-2 I have to say that Merrill's command is not quite where it was last week against the Giants some of these misses are non-competitive and he's running full on the number nine man another one got away walks to the ninth hitter to lead off the fifth one thing about Marl last week in San Francisco we' looked very much in control look very comfortable out there doesn't look too comfortable right now and he wants everybody to huddle up hopefully he's okay so I'm stretching out a bit there and remember this became an issue with Merill in the past Max ESP on to have a look we saw him it looked like stretching out his hamstrings remember he had that cramping issue which he said was a problem given the heat some dehydration and might be surfacing again Merill looks like he's done he he's out Merl's walking off the mound and that's it he's calling it a day on the pitch for the Diamondbacks it is rander Slade saone Sone has been filling in as of late as the long man in relief for the Diamondbacks a rough six Point 60 e it's frustrating because Sone has good stuff when it's going right but when it goes wrong my goodness does it go south in a hurry I have a question for you partner yes sir you're the rule guy uhoh I am okay when Merl Kelly stepped off the rubber out there that was his second disengagement uh yeah now saone comes in is it still two disengagements for the pitcher on the mound or does he get to restart I don't know I don't know that either well we'll find out cuz he just disengaged there you go yep and that's a b that poor slay trying to figure out wait I just got out here and now taras takes third on the first pitch to Marcus that has been an issue at times with diamondb pitchers this year Sone delivers and that one is poked out to the right side that will get a run home and Simeon will get a base hit Walker came off first base and then he was just caught on an island so it's a very Harris walks goes to second on a box steals third and comes home on an infield single watching the game we take it thank you very much free hit thanks for not covering first and a very awkward inning continues for the Diamondbacks defensively that's a base hit for Langford well this one's taken a while with h quite a few base runners there's a swing by adoli and a line shot to right center field and that is in there for a base hit under the glove of Carroll it rolls all the way to the warning track a run is home Langford goes to third it's a double for adolis and Arizona's lead is cut to 84 to lell is going to have to get him out of there gko will get a base loaded Jam in an 84 game things unraveling sof fly out to Right Center Jake McCarthy has got it dinkle puts out the fire another base hit for Gino and now he is a triple shy of the cycle guys Bell at third base andio Suarez at second into the air to deep right Garcia back he's at the track he is at at the wall it is gone another home run for Adrien del Castillo a three-run shot it's 11 to four Diamondbacks again the bottom of the order for the Diamondbacks in this game you can't get these guys out chrisan Walker would like to join the Hit Parade especially after he homeed twice last night so far today 0 for three there Walker to the Gap Langford been able to chase him down he's not going to get this one Corbin's coming home has got the RBI double and it's 12 to four Diamond BS another extra base hit 13 hits for Arizona 10 for extra bases Gino has singled doubled Homer and he's knocked in a run he scored three times High Fly ball Suarez looking for one more and he's got it Gino Suarez is 28 he's four for four unfortunately Can't Stop at third why not no it's against the rules wow 16th career multi-home Run game and you cannot be any more locked in than Gino Suarez is right now 12 extra base hits most since the club record which is 13 set back of the 2014 season Full Count on Randle gritch 3-2 on the way that's going to bring in another run it's another extra base hit goret scores to make it 144 and they have tied a club record 13 extra base hits seven doubles a triple and five home runs it is the top of the ninth inning Dbacks in front 14-4 brings is down to the final strike up the middle once more for gor ball game 14-4 all Diamond Backs here today they get win number 82 and they total 13 extra base hits 13 of their 16 hits went for extra bases and here's a little icing on the cake it's the first career save for Jordan Montgomery hey how about that
