We’re down to 12 games left.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are currently tied for second worst record with the Oakland Athletics.
Trying to find any positive at this point is like trying to put lipstick on a pig. Especially when your team returns home from a six game road trip of getting shellacked, only to lose their seventh game in a row.
Mitch Keller is one of the few positives though. He completed six innings and allowed two earned runs. That’s the fifth start in a row that he’s finished at least six innings. Keller has given up only seven earned runs in those five starts covering 31.
