Merrill Kelly looked as good as ever on Tuesday but the Padres robbed not one but two D-backs home runs in a brutal 1-0 loss. The D-backs had numerous additional opportunities on offense but were unable to cash in. 

What made Kelly so effective in the win, and why was he removed with only 77 pitches after seven innings? We also discuss the latest on Alek Thomas, who was scratched prior to Tuesday's game with right knee soreness.
