Welcome back to Joe Kelly and to Dave Robots‘ reliance on him, as the much maligned reliever allowed a walk-off homer to Dominic Smith.
Having already pitched a scoreless eighth inning, Kelly returned for the ninth and recorded a pair of outs before Smith came to the plate. Robots probably wasn’t pushing him too much, with Kelly ending the game at 20 pitches, but tempting fate led to a 5-4 loss for the Dodgers (33-25) on Sunday to wrap up the series with the Mets (38-21).
