Merrill Kelly did not factor in the decision on Sunday after allowing two runs on eight hits in 5.1 innings against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Kelly walked two, struck out two, and the two runs he gave up came on a pair of solo home runs to Cole Young and Dominic Canzone. Sunday's outing snapped a string of four wins in four starts, but he did extend his streak to five straight outings allowing three earned runs or fewer. After pitching to a 9.20 ERA in April, Kelly went 4-1 with a 3.49 ERA in six May starts despite striking out only 24 batters in 38.2 innings. Overall, he is 5-3 with a 5.06 ERA in nine starts with a less than ideal 33:22 K:BB ratio in 53.1 innings. He's projected to get the Nationals at home on Friday in his next start.
