NEW YORK -- As soon as Joe Kelly stirred in the Boston Red Sox bullpen at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, the taunts began.
Making his first appearance in the Bronx since an April 11 benches-clearing brawl at Fenway Park in Boston sparked by a Kelly hit by pitch, the relief pitcher didn't think much of potty-mouthed remarks hurled his way.
"Nothing I haven't heard before," Kelly said.
When Kelly trotted in from the bullpen to face Yankees slugger Aaron Judge with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh inning, a chorus of boos rained down throughout the stands.
