Pirates Discussion: Mitch Keller Tries to Avoid the Sweep

Published:

The Pirates are on a bad stretch of losing right now, dropping 11 of their last 12 games. They take on the Giants today at 1:35 PM EST, looking to avoid a three game sweep.

Mitch Keller has been a silver lining for this team over the past few weeks, and over the last month in general. In Keller’s last five starts, he has a 2.82 ERA in 22.1 innings. He’s still had some control issues, but has reduced the walks the last two outings. Keller takes the mound to avoid the sweep.

We will post lineups when they are available. Use the comments below to discuss the big league throughout the day.
