Joe Kelly delivered 7.1 innings of one-run ball Saturday as the Boston Red Sox topped the New York Mets 3-1.
Kelly's line wasn't gaudy, but quietly solid. He struck out two and scattered just seven Mets baserunners across almost eight frames.
After compiling a 5.94 ERA prior to this month, Kelly's August ERA sits at a stellar 2.68, and he has now won six straight starts. He's still not a high upside play - he has just a 7.5% strikeout rate on the year - but a series of favorable matchups await in the coming weeks.
