CINCINNATI -- Pat Kelly felt himself caught in the tug-of-war of divided loyalties long before Friday night's Giants-Reds game began.
San Francisco's starting pitcher was Casey Kelly, who happens to be Pat Kelly's son. And Pat Kelly happens to serve as the Reds' bench coach.
"I'll have the best seat in the house," Pat Kelly said before Friday's game. "Usually, I'm in the stands with a hot dog and a beer the few times I've seen him pitch."
The questions he fielded in the hours leading up to the indirect confrontation between father and son were what you might expect.
