Games of the Day

The Diamondbacks send Merrill Kelly against Tanner Houck and the Red Sox. Kelly missed three months due to a strained muscle in his shoulder. He pitched one good and one bad outing since his return, overall giving up eight runs in ten innings. Houck’s 3.01 ERA is now second in the AL, and he leads the league with the lowest HR per 9 IP, 0.53.

The Phillies and Royals play the rubber match of their weekend series with Kolby Allard taking on Seth Lugo. Allard only walked two batters in his 13 innings this season. He allowed three home runs, accounting for all five of the runs he allowed. Lugo, a former NL East pitcher, faced members of the Phillies a decent amount. Bryce Harper hits him well, J.T. Realmuto and Trea Turner not so much.

Enjoy!
