A reliever started today, and it ended poorly. Which is nothing new for a team that's given Joe Kelly as many starts as Boston.
In his first major league start, Matt Barnes did a pretty good job of driving home exactly why the Red Sox had never given him a role in the rotation, allowing six runs to the Indians in an 8-2 loss.
If you've seen a Joe Kelly start this season, you've seen what Matt Barnes did today. Three scoreless innings. Three strong scoreless innings. The sort that make you wonder why everyone's so down on the kid.
