He wasn't even supposed to pitch today, but
Joe Kelly, in fact,
did. The quirky right-hander delivered seven solid innings in the Bronx—yielding just one earned run on
one hit while striking out eight. He even touched as high as 99 MPH on the steroid-juiced Yankee Stadium radar gun. Need more heroes? How about the
Not Ready For Prime Time Outfield of
Brock Holt,
Daniel Nava, and
Allen Craig? All
BrockStar did was go 4-5 with three RBIs. Not to be outdone, Nava went 2-3 with 2 RBIs, and Craig made a spectacular catch in the right-field corner at a critical juncture.
Dustin Pedroia also had 2 RBIs, with Andover High School's
Ryan Hanigan knocking in one. When all was said and done at
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street,
Boston had beaten the Embalmers, 8-4—looking for a sweep of the series on
Sunday Night Baseball.
