Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller had another good outing, as it looks like he’s finally putting it together, particularly with his control, but the Bucco bats had another anemic day, giving Keller no support whatsoever in a 2-0 Pirates loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Keller went six innings, and though his velocity was once again down, his location continues to be up, and he gave up no earned runs (one unearned) on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He took the loss to move to 2-5 on the year.
The only run given up by Keller came after Connor Joe reached second on a throwing error by Oneil Cruz in the fifth.
