June 22, 2025 12:28 AM : Kelly (7-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win Saturday over the Rockies.
Analysis: Kelly turned in his third quality start in four outings this month, and it was enough for his second win in that span. He gave up a two-run home run to Jordan Beck in the first inning, but Kelly was able to settle in pretty well after that. The veteran right-hander has allowed three runs or less in 12 of 16 starts, good for a 3.39 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 93:25 K:BB over 93 innings this season. He's lined up for a favorable home start versus the Marlins when he next takes the mound.
