The Pittsburgh Pirates (63-81) are out west for four games against the San Francisco Giants (69-75). The Pirates will send out Mitch Keller in game two tonight. He left his last start after 1.2 scoreless innings due to a line drive that hit his right wrist. Keller has an 8.18 ERA in 33 innings, with 44 strikeouts, a 1.88 WHIP and a .350 BAA. In his four road starts, he has an 11.81 ERA, compared to 4.61 at home.
The Giants are countering with veteran Johnny Cueto, who will be making his 2019 debut today. He is returning from Tommy John surgery, which has kept him out of action since last July. Cueto was supposed to debut last week, but back tightness pushed him back to tonight.
