Cardinals starting pitcher Joe Kelly turned in a solid outing as he failed to factor into the decision in Game 3 of the World Series against the Red Sox Saturday night.
Kelly tossed four scoreless inning before allowing a run to score on a Mike Carp fielder's choice in the fifth and a run-scoring single to Daniel Nava in the sixth. He yielded two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six over 5 1/3 innings of a 5-4 win.
Kelly has allowed at least two earned runs in each of his first four postseason outings. He could be an option to start in Game 7, if necessary.
