CHICAGO -- Though Brad Keller pitched his shortest start since the All-Star break on Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field, he was nonetheless effective yet again.
Keller needed 94 pitches to get through five innings, but he consistently worked around trouble as the Royals provided him just enough offense to beat the White Sox, 3-1. The young right-hander now owns a 3.65 ERA in six second-half starts.
With the 14th start of his season in the books, Keller is quietly putting together one of the best rookie campaigns in the big leagues.
