The Pittsburgh Pirates and Atlanta Braves were locked in a close battle when the bottom fell out for the Buccos. Pittsburgh relievers gave up five runs in the sixth and four runs in the ninth that broke open a tight game to give Atlanta an 11-3 victory.
Mitch Keller got the start, and though he’s been pretty good so far this spring, he was less so on Sunday, giving up two runs on four innings pitched with a walk and four strikeouts, including giving up a solo shot to Michael Harris II in the first inning.
