Merrill Kelly stumbles against Padres
by Chris Schommer | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Sat, Sep 28th 8:39am EDT
Merrill Kelly allowed five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marked a slight deviation from his generally solid season, as evidenced by his 4.03 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Despite the rough start, Kelly's ability to still strike out eight batters highlights his potential for high strikeout totals, which can be a silver lining for fantasy managers. However, his increase in earned runs in this game could be a point of concern if this trend continues, potentially impacting his ERA and WHIP negatively as the season progresses.
