Red Sox Recap: Power and pitching give Red Sox 6-4 win.

In this first contest of the newly minted President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski era in Boston, Joe Kelly (5-6, 5.69) toed the rubber for the Red Sox vs. the Indians, looking to build on his last outstanding start vs. the Mariners (one earned run on four hits over six innings). Kelly had won his last three starts (16.1 IP, 8 ER), though giving up six earned runs in one of those. For the Indians, last year’s Cy Young award winner Corey Kluber (8-12, 3.34) took the hill so it was a good night to give three regulars the day off, especially Hanley Ramirez who is coming back from a sore foot, and has not homered since July 11.
