If you get baseball news, you’ve likely heard a lot about last night’s 16-inning Dodgers/Padres epic. It was a great game. But you know what made it that way? It wasn’t the 16 innings. It wasn’t the Fernando Tatís Jr. and A.J. Pollock home runs. It was, as you’d assume, Joe Kelly.
He’s back! Healthy. Wealthy. Throwing filth.
Our guy relieved Walker Buehler in the seventh, just before the game’s first half ended. Four offspeed pitches was all it took. Adam Frazier was retired.
Yes, friends, Joe Kelly has returned. With a whole lot more antibodies than before.
