The last time Joe Kelly pitched in Chavez Ravine, he was striking out the side in the eighth inning of the Boston Red Sox’s World Series-clinching victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Well, his follow-up performance went much, much worse.

Kelly, now a highly-paid reliever for the Dodgers, made his team debut Friday night at Dodger Stadium and was given the ball with a 3-0 lead in the seventh inning. He responded by giving up a three-run homer to Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker.
