Mitch Keller’s Rough Stretch Continues In Pirates Loss To Braves

Mitch Keller’s struggles continued at Truist Park as the Pirates dropped the series opener to the Braves after briefly taking a 3-1 lead. Keller allowed six runs in 4.2 innings, and while the bullpen kept the game from getting worse, the offense went quiet after a three-run third inning. DiNardo and Ryan Alexander break down Keller’s recent stretch, why the rotation suddenly feels less stable, the thin margins with this pitching staff, the Pirates offense going silent against Martin Perez, and what the bullpen picture looks like right now.
