Merrill Kelly lost to the Marlins after allowing four runs — three earned — in 4 2/3 innings on Wednesday.

Kelly fanned nine, topping his previous season high for strikeouts by two, but that wasn’t enough tonight. He walked two in a two-run second and then gave up a two-run homer in the third. Kelly is 1-6 with a 5.32 ERA since the beginning of August and 9-14 with a 5.00 ERA overall. He’ll pitch in Colorado next week.
