Kelly allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four in three-plus innings in Friday night's 8-7 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly was okay through the first three innings, but fell apart in the fourth when his slider became less effective and was falling behind hitters. He blamed his mechanics out of the stretch, according to Providence Journal, while manager John Farrell lamented him losing control of the count. Whatever the root cause, it was another display of Kelly's inconsistency, a discouraging sign after his stellar finish to the 2015 season.
