If for a moment you can forget that Pittsburgh Pirates’ Killer Kolten Wong exists, Mitch Keller was fantastic Tuesday evening.
After two shortened starts — one due to shoulder fatigue and the other during a rough fourth inning — Keller filled the strike zone while going six solid innings against the Milwaukee Brewers.
On the night, Keller threw 71 of his 105 pitches for strikes. With that he would set a career high with ten strike outs, of which eight were on a swinging strike three. This time he didn’t lean heavily on his sinker throwing it for only 18 of his 105 pitches.
