The Dodgers tried using Joe Kelly as an opener last night. It made sense on paper—have the best pitcher alive (Or dead. We never talk about the dead ones.) start the game in the hopes the A’s will strike out so forcefully that they accidentally get 27 outs in one inning. But it didn’t work. Our hero allowed three runs, two earned, breaking what had been nearly a year-long scoreless streak.
So, now we know. Joe Kelly: Still a Reliever.
