The Arizona Diamondbacks have a decision to make. With Starter Merrill Kelly primed to the return to the rotation on Sunday, they need to decide who gets to th
e stay in the rotation. That decision seems to have come down to Jordan Montgomery or Ryne Nelson.
"I think so. When you're slicing the pie as thin as we are, every little pice matters. So we're going to wait it out and see what tonight looks like for sure." Nelson then struck out Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper in the fourth inning. He got Schwarber on an elevated fastball above the zone which the Phillies slugger couldn't check on. Then he challenged Harper with a 98 MPH heater in the middle of the plate and Harper fout tipped it into Adrian Del Castillo's glove.
With A.J. Puk warming in the bullpen, Lovullo sent Nelson back out for the eighth inning. "I felt like at pitches he had enough gas in his tank to go back out there and get a couple hitters". Nelson walked Castellanos with one out however, and left-hand batter Bryson Stott in the on deck circle. Evaluating his outing Lovullo said "He was outstanding. It was one of those special nights where a lot of pitches were working, a lot of things were going where he wanted, with the direction, with the back spin and the velo, and I just wanted to get out of the way of it. I enjoyed it, I was a fan there watching a really good pitcher get after it. "
