The Red Sox came into the middle game of the series with a challenge ahead of them. The Sox had Joe Kelly on the mound vs. an elite pitcher in the Mets’ Jacob deGrom. deGrom has shown himself to not only be great this year, but particularly when he is pitching at Citi Field. Joe Kelly also had his own history he was chasing. Kelly has been 5-0 in August so far and if he got the win yesterday, he’d make the short list of Sox pitchers who have went 6-0 in a month. Kelly and deGrom battled, but the Sox gave deGrom
Joe Kelly and Jacob deGrom got down to business yesterday afternoon and definitely had what looked like a pitcher’s duel.
