Kelly (0-2) took the loss against the Rockies on Thursday, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and no walks with one strikeout across six innings.
It was ugly from the start, as Kelly's first five batters reached with hits to give the Rockies an early 3-0 lead. The 32-year-old eventually settled down a bit, retiring 11 consecutive batters, but he unraveled once again in the sixth frame, serving up a three-run homer to Dom Nunez. On the bright side, Kelly showed good control and made it through six innings after lasting only four frames in his first start against the Padres. The right-hander will look to bounce back in a home contest Tuesday against Oakland.
