Kelly allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three in five innings during his second rehabilitation start for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Kelly had better command in his second start, throwing 48 of his 77 pitches for strikes. According to Pawtucket's play-by-play guy, Will Flemming, the right-hander's final two pitches of the night hit 97 and 98 mph. The arm strength is good; all that's left is to get the pitch count up. The organization probably wants to make at least one more rehab start. With both Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) nearing returns, manager John Farrell will have some decisions to make regarding who's in and who's out of Boston's rotation.
