He was going for his eighth win in eight starts, a streak that would be the longest by a Red Sox pitcher since Pedro Martinez rattled off nine in a row during his magical 1999 season, and yet Joe Kelly looked no different than he has in in the seven previous wins.
The 27-year-old is locked in.
Kelly was dominant yet again Wednesday night, slicing apart the Blue Jays’ MLB-best offense with high-90s heaters and breaking balls that painted corners. He struck out five while holding the Jays to just one run over 5 u2154 innings as the Red Sox ran away with a 10-4 win.
