The Pirates busted out the bats and Mitch Keller was dominant on the mound last night in their series opener against the Mets.
Greg Brown has the story.
Manager Derek Shelton says Cruz is developing as a hitter, and he hurts the baseball…last night his hits clocked 110.9 miles per hour, 115.3, and 113.4.
Keller worked his way through a tough Mets lineup and got some key outs with runners on base. Shelton was impressed.
The Bucs and the Mets will play two today. In a day/night doubleheader, the Pirates will start Bryse Wilson against Mets ace Jacob DeGrom in the first game. Game two will feature Johan Oviedo for the Bucs against New York’s Chris Bassett. Airtime for Game One is 12:10, and for game two it’s 6:10 on WCCS.
ALTOONA
Endy Rodriguez continued his hot start at Double-A with three hits and two RBIs as Altoona walloped Erie, 8-1 last night. Rodriguez had two run-scoring doubles in the game. Malcom Nuñez hit a home run, Henry Davis doubled home two runs, and Matt Fraizer had two hits. Aaron Shortridge gave up one run on three hits in five innings to get the win. The Curve have not yet announced a starter for tonight’s second game of the series.
