An early offensive surge allowed the Boston Red Sox to upend the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday as they won, 5-3.
Mitch Keller looked rough out of the gate as the first five hitters he faced reached base, three by singles and the other two on walks. Two of those hits and a sacrifice fly allowed the BoSox to plate four runs in the frame.
After Keller surrendered another run in the second, he exited the game with what was later determined as right shoulder fatigue. The funny thing is that he felt no pain, but knew he was losing steam on his pitches.
