Kelly went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's 3-2 win at Dodger Stadium.
EDGE Analysis
It was a quiet offensive night for everyone but Kelly on Friday. With the Diamondbacks trailing 2-0 in the ninth, Kelly launched a two-run homer off Kenley Jansen to even the score. He then hit a go-ahead solo shot off Julio Urias during his next at-bat in the 11th to give Arizona the win. It was the first career multi-homer game for the 25-year-old, who is batting .268/.354/.553 with 16 home runs, 41 RBI and 32 runs scored through 228 plate appearances.

Kelly went 1-for-3 with a walk and three-run home run Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly delivered the biggest hit of the game for the Diamondbacks, taking John Means deep in the fourth inning for his 12th home run of the season. The young backstop continues to hit for plenty of power, with this marking his third long ball in his past 10 contests. Kelly serves as the primary catcher for the team, but has gotten more frequent days off since the return of Alex Avila, slightly denting his upside. Overall, he's still managed a strong .264/.354/.528 line across 226 plate appearances.
