KANSAS CITY -- As Royals right-hander Brad Keller transitions back to being a starter, the assumption might be that he will pace himself to get through his 55-60 pitch limit.
Not the case. Keller, who will make his first Major League start for the Royals on Wednesday, said he won't be holding back.
"[Reliever] Blaine Boyer said to just treat every inning like it's the eighth inning," Keller said. "He said to just go attack. That's what I'll do."
Keller is starting in place of left-hander Eric Skoglund, who is on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained elbow.
