After a brutal blown lead in Game 1 against the Baltimore Orioles, the Arizona Diamondbacks bounced back in a big way, grinding out another one-run victory to even the series and secure their fifth win of this East Coast road trip. We break down Merrill Kelly dealing in his return to the mound, Ildemaro Vargas making history with an 11-game hit streak to open the season, and a D-backs bullpen that bent but didn’t break when it mattered most.

Plus, we take a closer look at the roster moves Arizona made to get Kelly back into the rotation and what it means moving forward.
