Merrill Kelly earns the win on Saturday

RHP Merrill Kelly earned the win on Saturday when he allowed two runs on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk over six innings as the D-Backs took down the Cubs 7-3.
Fantasy Impact:
Kelly did his job on Saturday, limiting the Cubs to just two runs over his six innings of work. Javier Baez grounded into a double play that scored a run in the third inning and Willson Contreras swatted a solo homer off of him in the fourth. He also punched out six batters for the second consecutive start. The 32-year-old owns a 7-7 record, 4.39 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 105:28 K/BB ratio over 123 innings (21 starts). Kelly has been drawing trade interest so there's a chance that this could have been his last start in a Diamondbacks uniform. If not, he'll face the Dodgers at home in his next turn.
