Tagged for five runs in loss
Kelly (8-9) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing five runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.
Analisi
Kelly surrendered a leadoff solo homer to Patrick Bailey in the third inning as part of a two-run frame. The right-hander ran into more trouble in the fifth, when five consecutive Cleveland batters reached safely, resulting in three more runs. Arizona's offense offered no support, as the Diamondbacks were shut out in the defeat. The four walks matched Kelly's highest total since April 28. He'll carry a 5.04 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 76:46 K:BB over 114.1 innings into his next scheduled start Friday against the Dodgers.

Fans six in no-decision
Kelly did not factor into Monday's decision against the Pirates, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.2 innings.
Analisi
The only run Kelly allowed Monday was unearned, though it was his doing on a pickoff error to first, leading to Jake Mangum scoring on a Brandon Lowe single. It was the first time in 19 starts this season that Kelly did not yield an earned run, and his six punchouts tied a season high that he set three times prior to Monday's game. He'll take a 4.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 109.1 innings into his next start, which is slated for this weekend on the road against the Guardians.
