PHOENIX (AP) --- Adrian Del Castillo hit a three-run home run in the first
inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks held on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3
on Saturday night.
Merrill Kelly (6-8) went five innings to win for the first time in seven
starts. He allowed eight hits, walked two and struck out six. He gave up two
runs in the fifth on Christian Yelich's sixth home run of the season.
Paul Sewald gave up Jackson Chourio's 13th homer in the ninth but finished for
his 20th save in 21 chances.
Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff left the game in the fourth inning,
accompanied by a trainer, after striking out Del Castillo on a 3-2 pitch.
Woodruff was making his third start since returning from the injured list with
right shoulder inflammation. His highest velocity pitch in the fourth inning
was 87 mph. He gave up two hits, three runs and a walk in 3 2/3 innings,
striking out six.
Arizona moved back to .500 (45-45) despite being outhit 12-4. The Brewers had
won their last six games on the road.
After Del Castillo's home run, Woodruff and relievers Craig Yoho and Jared
Koenig retired the next 19 Diamondbacks batters until pinch-hitter Lourdes
Gurriel Jr. singled leading off the eighth. Ildemaro Vargas followed with a
double off Koenig to score pinch runner Jorge Barrosa to make it 4-2.
Woodruff walked Corbin Carroll with two outs in the first, Gabriel Moreno
followed with a single to center and Del Castillo hit his fifth homer of the
season into the right-field seats.
Woodruff (2-2) hadn't allowed a run in his previous two starts since returning
to the Milwaukee rotation. His season ERA is 2.98.
