The Arizona Diamondbacks gave up a leadoff double in the first inning, but ultimately made all of the Milwaukee Brewers' baserunners work against them.

Hitting with runners in scoring position has been a huge problem for Milwaukee, a team that currently has a multiple game lead in the National League Central.

The Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo crushed a three-run, first-inning homer, one that propelled them to a 4-3 victory. Now, it's Eduardo Rodriguez's time to shine and bring home a series victory for Arizona.

Despite only having four hits in the game, the Diamondbacks secured a narrow victory against one of the best teams in all of baseball. Arizona improved to 44-44, returning to .500 after previously dropping their last two games. As for the Brewers, they now sit at 54-33.

After enduring a month of June where the 37-year-old starting pitcher went 0-5, Kelly made sure to turn things around now that the calendar flipped to July. He may have given up two earned runs on eight hits but, all things considered, that's an extremely solid 5.0-inning outing from someone who had a dreadful June.

"I just wanted to come out aggressive today, just kind of let it fly, and just kind of let the chips fall where they may," Kelly said after the win, according to MLB.com. "Not try to be too fine or too precise, just be aggressive."

Kelly continued, "Just trust that I've been doing this long enough that I remember how to pitch, and remember that I can read swings and different approaches."

In what could've been a disastrous start after Brice Turang's leadoff double, Kelly helped contribute to the Brewers' 10 runners left on base. By the end of the night, Milwaukee was just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Del Castillo got things started early with a three-run homer in the first inning. It was just his fifth home run of the season, and that should come as no surprise when looking at the 26-year-old's .555 OPS. Regardless, he contributed in a big way and gave Chase Field some fireworks on Independence Day.

That said, Ildemaro Vargas's 46th RBI made the difference. Vargas, 34, hit an RBI double off Jared Koenig in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Diamondbacks the insurance run they needed, especially since Jackson Chourio hit a 410-foot homer for the Brewers in the ninth to cut Milwaukee's deficit to one.
