The Pittsburgh Pirates finished up their second series of the season, and have played six games overall. After a huge midweek series sweep at Fenway against the Boston Red Sox, they own a record of 4-2.
It’s still early to make any kinds of actual assessments, but here are six observations, six games into the season.
– Mitch Keller was nasty on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and striking out seven batters. Props to Derek Shelton for giving him another batter so he can have an opportunity to finish the inning out.
He started a little iffy with the control, but by the end of the game he was pumping pitches into the strike zone.
