March 12, 2025 8:42 AM : Kelly allowed five hits while striking out one over 3.1 scoreless innings in Tuesday's spring start against the Royals.
Analysis: Kelly threw 48 pitches in his third Cactus League start, the same number of pitches he threw the last time out, March 7, against the Mariners. He navigated first-inning trouble with the help of his defense; a baserunner was caught attempting to steal and a second one was picked off by Kelly, the third time he's picked off a runner this spring. After three spring outings, Kelly has a 2.35 ERA over 7.2 innings.
