Merrill Kelly hushed Adolis García and Texas Rangers in Game 2, and the Arizona Diamondbacks are headed back to Phoenix having taken over home-field advantage for the rest of the World Series. Kelly pitched three-hit ball over seven innings and the Diamondbacks won 9-1 Saturday night, knotting the series at a game each. Kelly struck out nine, walked none and went to just one three-ball count, allowing his only run on Mitch Garver’s leadoff homer in the fifth. Game 3 is Monday night at Arizona.
