It’s Ro Day in Pittsburgh, as the Pirates try to take the series from the Oakland Athletics this afternoon with Roansy Contreras on the mound. In Triple-A, the Pirates are starting one of their top pitching prospects in Quinn Priester.
Last night’s game against the A’s saw Mitch Keller struggle for the third start in a row. Contreras has struggled for most of this season. He’s made five starts since the beginning of May. Only one of those outings has seen an ERA under 5 and an FIP under 6.
