Del Castillo hits 3-run homer to lift Diamondbacks past Brewers 4-3
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.
After the game, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Woodruff would probably be placed back on the injured list. The right-hander was making his third start since returning from the injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
