Joe Kelly was shelled for five earned runs in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Pirates. It was Kelly's first start since his mid-August demotion to the bullpen, and he did not look sharp. Pittsburgh scored one run in the first inning off a Garrett Jones RBI double and three runs in the third when Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run bomb to right field. Kelly's ERA jumped from 3.26 to 3.61.
