Mitch Keller allowed two runs in eight innings on Monday, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-2 victory over the New York Mets.
The start from Keller gave him his tenth win of the season, which isn’t the most reliable metric for grading a pitcher. However, it does put Keller in rare company for reaching double-digit wins before the All-Star break. Keller has a 3.40 ERA in 111.1 innings this year, with an 8.25 K/9 and a 2.18 BB/9.
Despite this performance in the first half, Keller was not selected to the All-Star Game.
Keller ranks 33rd overall in fWAR among pitchers with 50+ innings pitched this year.
