The attendance for last night's Diamondbacks game against the A's was 2,064. That's the lowest attendance the A's have had since 1979, according to AP. The D-backs, meanwhile, have won four games in a row. RECAP:
OAKLAND, CA — Merrill Kelly thought for sure Jordan Díaz had swung, and the Arizona pitcher was expecting to add another strikeout to his stellar start.
Manager Torey Lovullo got tossed by first base umpire Brock Ballou for arguing a check swing, then when Kelly got removed by bench coach Jeff Banister after the next batter, the pitcher gestured toward the baserunner and was ejected, too — for the first time in his life. Arizona moved six games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 2019 season at 85-77. Ketel Marte singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. Kelly struck out nine while pitching into the eighth and is unbeaten in four starts since a loss to San Diego on April 22.
“I lost my composure there a little bit, but I'm hashing it,” he said. “I want plays called the right way. I felt very strongly that it was a full swing. He dumped me from the dugout.”The D-backs jumped on A's starter Drew Rucinski , who matched his season high with five walks in his fifth career start. Oakland's night was highlighted by Jace Peterson's home run leading off the eighth and Esteury Ruiz's RBI single in the third.
