Mitch Keller continues to impress, as he racked up his fifth straight solid start, but the bats for the Pittsburgh Pirates were also once again silent (big surprise) and the Buccos fell to the Baltimore Orioles 1-0.
Pittsburgh scattered six hits but had a chance to tie in the ninth inning, as Ben Gamel got a one-out single followed by a walk to Ke’Bryan Hayes, but Oneil Cruz and Kevin Newman were struck out back-to-back by Felix Bautista to end the threat and that was all she wrote for Pittsburgh.
Keller finished with a line of six innings pitched, giving up one run on eights hits with one walk and one strikeout, but took the loss to fall to 3-8 after giving up an RBI single to Ramon Urias in the bottom of the sixth.
