RHP Merrill Kelly earned the win on Sunday when he surrendered four runs on six hits with six strikeouts over eight-plus innings in the D-Backs' victory over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact:

Kelly was solid on Sunday, holding the Cubs scoreless over the first five innings. He coughed up a pair of RBI singles to Kris Bryant and Javier Baez in the sixth inning and allowed another two runs in the ninth before handing the ball over to Joakim Soria. Soria was able to hold on for the save and Kelly earned his sixth win of the year as a result. He now owns a 6-7 record, 4.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 99:27 K/BB ratio over 117 innings (20 starts). He'll face the Cubs again, this time in Chicago, in his next turn.
