Justin Martinez was deployed against the heart of the Brewers’ lineup with a one-run lead in the eighth inning, so Puk was left to clean up the ninth after the Diamondbacks tacked on a couple of runs in the eighth. It wasn’t the smoothest of outings, as he hit Joey Ortiz and then walked Isaac Collins to bring the tying run to the plate, but he rebounded to strike out Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio to end it. He’ll continue to share save chances with Martinez based on the handedness of the opposing lineup it appears. On the season, Puk holds a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 10/2 K/BB ratio over six innings while securing three saves.

On the plus side for fantasy managers, Kelly managed to rack up seven strikeouts on the day while issuing only one base on balls.

They scratched out another in the fifth on an RBI double by Luis Arraez. The 36-year-old hurler got 14 swings and misses on 93 pitches on the afternoon, registering a CSW of 33 percent. He now sits at 6-3 on the season with a 3.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and an 86/22 K/BB ratio over 87 innings through his first 15 starts. He’ll do battle against the Rockies his next time out in Colorado on Saturday.
