Brad Keller has made a habit of escaping impossible jams. In tonight’s game, he allowed only a single run, a solo home run to White Sox left-fielder Nicky Delmonico, in five innings. Keller struck out five and walked none. But he did give seven hits, which required him to escape a first-and-third with no outs jam in the fourth inning and a second-and-third with two outs jam in the fifth inning. He didn’t allow a run to score either time.
This has quickly become a modus operandi for Keller.
