Kelly allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three in 5.2 innings in Boston's win over Baltimore on Friday. He tossed 118 pitches, two shy of his career high. Kelly, who was hampered by a biceps injury late in training camp and had to talk manager John Farrell into letting him make his first start last week against the Yankees, has been good through two starts. He's averaged 105 pitches while leading the staff in WHIP and ERA. The Orioles battled him and weren't chasing Friday, making it a very laborious start for Kelly.
