Kelly allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five in 7.1 innings in Saturday's win over the Mets. He's won six straight starts and allowed just six earned runs in his last five outings (1.59 ERA, 32 innings).

EDGE Analysis

Kelly has started throwing his secondary offerings more often and getting away from a steady diet of fastballs that characterized his starts earlier this year. His ERA is down below five (4.94), its lowest mark since late April. Kelly, who pitched his way out of the big leagues and was considered for a bullpen role earlier this season, has worked his way back into Boston's starting-rotation plans for 2016.
