Nootbaar’s Grand Slam Seals D-backs Win | MLB News

Lars Nootbaar crushed a grand slam in the 7th inning to seal a 7-1 win for the Diamondbacks over the Giants, capping off a stellar performance by Merrill Kelly, who tossed seven shutout innings. The Giants’ rookie pitcher held Arizona scoreless until the 7th, when two walks set the stage for Nootbaar’s heroics. A late run in the 8th couldn’t overcome the deficit, and with a coach ejected before the game even started, the D-backs stole a crucial victory to keep their momentum alive.
