PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly has left his start against the Texas Rangers with a right hamstring cramp in the fifth inning. Kelly walked the opening batter in the fifth and winced after throwing a pitch to Marcus Simien. The right-hander doubled over, appearing to try stretching out his back as Arizona's trainer and manager Torey Lovullo visited him on the mound. Kelly has been bothered by cramps in past starts at Chase Field and returned from the 60-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation on Aug. 11.
