Mitch Keller did the stopper thing, throwing a complete game shutout against Colorado to put an end to the Pirates’ seven-game losing streak. The 2-0 win marked the Pirates’ first complete game shutout since Trevor Williams threw one on July 23, 2018.
Colorado has been hitting very well in winning six of their last seven, but Keller came out with his best stuff. All he allowed on the day was three singles, a double and a walk. He fanned eight and threw 77 of 103 pitches for strikes.
Keller only got stronger as the game went along.
