Pirates pull Mitch Keller after 75 pitches, lose three-game series to the Padres

The Pirates pulled Mitch Keller with 75 pitches yesterday after six innings. Crowley isn't in line to blame Don Kelly because he thinks this is an edict from Ben Cherington's front office. Dan Zangrilli blamed the Pirates starting pitching depth and the need to help keep their pitching as healthy as possible. Dorin and Crowley were fine with Marcell Ozuna sitting for a second-consecutive day.
