Dbacks recap and notes

Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and a second run scored in Wednesday’s 6-4 loss to Colorado.

After tripling and scoring the game’s first run in the opening inning, Carroll cut Arizona’s deficit to 6-4 in the eighth with his 18th homer of the year and the 100th of his MLB career. Carroll has now gone deep in back-to-back contests after hitting just one home run in his prior 18 contests. Overall, Carroll is slashing .243/.338/.482 with 75 runs scored, 57 RBI and 16 stolen bases across 512 plate appearances this year.

Kelly (8-10) took the loss Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

Four of the runs charged to Kelly came in the fourth inning, capped by a Brett Sullivan three-run homer. He’d later give up a two-run blast to Zac Veen in the fourth. While the long ball hurt Kelly earlier this season, he’d been doing a better job of keeping the ball in the park coming into Wednesday’s outing — he allowed just one homer over 16.1 innings in his previous three starts. Kelly’s ERA now sits at 5.11 through 22 starts (125 innings) this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 82:53 K:BB. He’ll look to bounce back his next time out, currently slated to come on the road against the Red Sox.

Perdomo (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday’s game versus the Rockies.

Perdomo was lifted from Monday’s game and sat out Tuesday because of left knee discomfort, but he feels well enough to give it a go in Wednesday’s series finale. He’s sporting a .934 OPS across the past two weeks for the Diamondbacks.
