At 7:05 this evening the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds will do battles in the second game of a day/night doubleheader. In this game, the team’s top prospect – Mitch Keller – will make his long overdue MLB debut. With this start, it is time for the Keller Era to begin in Pittsburgh.
Sixths season, the Pirate starting rotation has been depreciated by injuries. Jameson Taillon and Trevor Williams are currently on the injured list. Chris Archer has also spent time on the IL this season, and has pitched poorly in his last three starts.
