Kelly shines as Diamondbacks force Game 7

PHILADELPHIA: Merrill Kelly pitched a gem to shut down the free-scoring Philadelphia Phillies as the Arizona Diamondbacks claimed a National League Championship Series-leveling 5-1 victory on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) to force a winner-take-all Game 7.

Arizona righthander Kelly struck out eight batters for just one run against a Phillies line-up that had not lost at home all postseason before Monday's defeat at Citizens Bank Park.
