The start of the 2021 season was rough for Brad Keller. The supposed ace of the KC Royals staff didn’t make it out of the second inning in his first game and didn’t reach the fifth inning until his third. Things seemed to calm for a moment, only for the young starter to find struggle again.
The KC Royals, though, seemed content with keeping Keller on the mound and letting him figure things out. Thankfully, he seems to finally be getting back on track.
Keller got his 10th start of the season on Tuesday night, going up against a Rays team that had won their last 11 games.
