Pirates Recap: Keller Backed by Longball

So far through three starts, Mitch Keller is showing that last year may not have been a fluke. After a shaky season opening start, he has put together back-to-back strong starts. It didn’t necessarily appear that way, as Keller gave up a solo home run in each of the first two innings for a 2-0 deficit.

In the bottom half of the second inning, Jack Suwinski finally did what he did best in 2022, and took a 92 MPH fastball up in the zone and sent it 399 feet into right field for a game tying two-run home run.
