hit three homers to beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-0 on June 9, snapping a four-game skid.
"I felt the best I’ve felt in the last month," Kelly said. "My command was a lot better than it has been. My mentality was to be aggressive. Knowing that I had more life in my fastball put that thought into my head." Kelly got a boost from Alek Thomas, who leaped at the left-center field fence and robbed Joey Votto of a two-run homer to end the first inning. Cincinnati had scored in the first inning in the previous six games.
"That’s a situation where, if they get a two-run homer, you’re looking at the same type of game as night," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said.Walker snapped a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with his 15th homer, a rocket 10 rows deep into the left-field seats with Ketel Marte on base. The lead was Arizona’s first since the ninth inning of an eventual 2-1 loss at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
