Kelly made two starts, against the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves. In those two starts, Kelly pitched 15 scoreless innings on 6 hits, 2 walks, and 15 strikeouts. In his start in Atlanta, Kelly went toe-to-toe with one of the game’s best starters in Max Fried in a 1-0 loss to the Braves. His efforts resulted in earning National League Pitcher of the Week honors for the week of July 25th-July 31st. Kelly is the first D-back to earn Pitcher of the Week honors this season. The last player to receive these honors was Tyler Gilbert for his no-hitter on August 14, 2021.
