## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense finally broke out of its slump on Friday night, erupting for six runs in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies and finishing with nine runs in a much-needed win. But the biggest story was ace Merrill Kelly, who tossed the first complete game of his career, allowing just one run on four hits across nine dominant innings. We have more on the veteran’s resurgence over his last two starts, Ildemaro Vargas going 4-for-5 at the plate, and the D-backs finally putting together a complete performance on both sides of the ball. Plus, we head down to Snake Farm to check in on LuJames Groover and other rising D-backs prospects making noise in the minors.
