Was it bad luck to pitch despite bad weather? Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly (37) left the mound due to his injury during a game against the Chicago Cubs.

Kelly pitched well in an away game against the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, with two hits, one walk, five strikeouts and one run during five ⅔ innings. Arizona won the game 3-2 after 11 extra innings.
In the game that began after a 39-minute rain delay, Kelly hit and walked in the bottom of the first inning, causing a crisis on the first and second bases with no outs. Kelly, who handled the first out count by striking out Seiya Suzuki, again had difficulty controlling his condition due to the game that was delayed for nearly an hour due to rain.

After the game resumed, Kelly, with one out and runners on the first and second bases, allowed Michael Bush to make a timely RBI with a checkered swing ball, but later set a career high record by catching as many as 16 consecutive batters. 바카라사이트

Kelly, who continued his good pitching, showed signs of discomfort after throwing the fifth pitch against Suzuki at the ball count of 2-2 after two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning. He complained of pain by shaking his right leg on the mound, but was replaced after 81 pitches.

Kelly's twitching problem has been an intermittent issue over the past two years. He and the team's training and nutrition management team have tried various ways to solve this problem.

According to MLB.com , Kelly said, "It's the same problem we've always had. It's really frustrating, but it's okay now. We'll go back to basics and see if there's a solution we haven't tried yet."

Meanwhile, right-hander bullpen pitcher Ryan Thompson took the mound after Kelly went down the mound and handled Suzuki with a ground ball to the first base to end the inning. The game, which went into overtime 1-1 afterwards, was 2-2 in the 10th inning with both teams adding one run each. Arizona took the lead again to 3-2 in the top of the 11th inning when Josh Naylor hit a timely hit with no outs and second base, and Drey Jameson kept the win scoreless in the bottom of the 11th inning.
