Joe Kelly restricted the Pirates to one run on four hits over six innings Sunday in the Cardinals' 7-2 victory.
He struck out five and walked two. Kelly improves to 7-0 record in 10 starts since he rejoined the rotation. The 25-year-old entered the game boasting a ridiculous 1.88 ERA in 72 innings since May 30. Kelly's peripheral numbers -- specifically his K/BB ratio, FIP and WHIP -- all scream that a regression is coming, but the right-hander has managed to outrace logic since late May. He draws a familiar foe on Friday, though this time Kelly and the Cardinals will be hosting the Pirates.
