## Resource

At 37 years young, Merrill Kelly tossed the first complete game of his career against the Colorado Rockies on Friday as the Diamondbacks notched a 9-1 win. What worked so well for Kelly? Has he officially erased any reason for concern after his slow start? We also discuss another successful day for the offense, including a four-hit day from Ildemaro Vargas and the first four-walk game of Nolan Arenado's career. Plus, is Gabriel Moreno finally looking like himself again? Finally, we discuss the D-backs' bullpen usage getting back under control with the starting rotation covering more innings lately. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
