The Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t keep their winning streak rolling, as the bats went dead and Mitch Keller had another sub-par outing in a 7-2 defeat to the Washington Nationals.
Keller came into the season with some promise, as numerous videos of his offseason training were out there showing increased velocity and movement, and he looked like he was carrying at least some of that improvement into Spring Training. But it just hasn’t been the same in the regular season.
Keller went just three and two-thirds on Friday against Washington, giving up four runs on seven hits, while walking three and striking out four.
