Joe Kelly gave the game away early, and Craig Breslow put the final nail in the coffin. At 12-13, the Red Sox are a losing baseball team.
Welcome, one-and-all, to the wrong side of .500. That's where the Red Sox find themselves after another bad start from Joe Kelly led to an 8-5 defeat Sunday night in Fenway Park, completing a three-game sweep at the hands of New York.
This was Joe Kelly at his level worst. The worst we've seen him this season, in fact. His last two starts had been troubling, yes, but he had been cruising against Tampa Bay before the wheels fell off in the sixth, and against Toronto it was at least a more slow-and-steady bleed that let him last through six.
