Starters who log 200 innings in a season are becoming increasingly rare. Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly has a chance to join the club.
He called the 200-inning mark a “kind of a benchmark among starting pitchers,” though he also noted that it is becoming an increasingly rare for pitchers to get there.
Though they entered Thursday night’s series finale at Dodger Stadium with only 12 games remaining, the Diamondbacks could arrange their rotation in such a way for Kelly to take the ball three more times on regular rest: Saturday against the Giants at Chase Field, Sept. 30 in San Francisco and Oct. 5 in the season-finale in Milwaukee.
Left-hander Madison Bumgarner threw his curveball 37 times on Wednesday night, one more time than he had in any other start in his career. Bumgarner gave up just one run on one hit — a Mookie Betts solo homer — in six innings. It was his best start since late July. Over the previous nine starts, he had posted a 7.82 ERA in 48 1/3 innings.
