Solid again in win
Kelly (8-8) earned the win against the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.
Análisis
Kelly threw just 52 of 87 pitches for strikes but benefited from an offensive outburst by the Diamondbacks and pitched well enough to improve to 3-0 through four July outings. The 37-year-old has been strong overall during that stretch, allowing only six earned runs while posting an 18:8 K:BB. He'll take a 5.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:41 K:BB across 103.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Pirates next week.

Allows one earned run
Kelly did not factor into the decision Friday, giving up three runs (one earned) on four hits with three strikeouts and two walks over five innings against St. Louis.
Análisis
The Cardinals tallied two unearned runs on two hits, a walk and an error during the opening frame, but Kelly then kept St. Louis off the board until JJ Wetherholt's solo homer during the fifth inning. The veteran right-hander was unable to extend his win streak to three games, but he continued a strong run of form with a 2.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across his last 17 innings. Kelly still has a lot of work to do to bring down his 5.20 ERA and 1.49 WHIP for the campaign.
