Merrill Kelly has not pitched on the road the same way he did at home this season. Opponents hit .262 against him in road starts, compared to .186 at home, with 21 more hits in six fewer innings pitched. He also struck out fewer batters away from the friendly confines of Chase Field.

In Kelly’s last start on the road, he only conceded one run but walked five batters and fanned only five hitters. At home against the Rockies two starts ago, he had 12 strikeouts in seven innings. At Dodger Stadium on August 29, he put 15 runners on base and conceded seven innings. At Dodger Stadium on August 29, he put 15 runners on base and conceded seven runs. He also held Cincinnati scoreless with one hit and 12 Ks in seven innings at home. Lesser non-contact outs and more runners on base often lead to more runs.

He has a 2.52 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 14 home starts, with 22 combined Ks in his last two outings in Queens, the Diamondbacks, who do not hit well on the road (.245 BA and .318 OBP), will fall to him next.
