Merrill Kelly dazzles in shutout against Brewers
by Chris Schommer | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Sun, Sep 22nd 6:44am EDT
Merrill Kelly delivered a masterful performance in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Brewers, allowing just two hits and striking out six across five scoreless innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a showcase of efficiency and control, as he did not issue a single walk and kept his pitch count low at 72. Kelly's season ERA now improves to 3.71, and his WHIP to 1.13, reflecting a solid command that has been evident throughout the year. His strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.06 and a BABIP of .257 suggest that he's been effectively managing contact and should continue to be a reliable option in fantasy lineups. Given his consistent performance and ability to suppress runs, Kelly remains a valuable asset, especially in deeper leagues or formats that reward pitching precision.
