Pirates Discussion: Keller Looks to Salvage Series

Published:

Nationals bottom three pitching staff has so far limited the Pirates bottom three offense.

Pirates have moved up the home run leaderboards, but unfortunately a lot of those home runs have come with no men on base.

A resurgent Mitch Keller (2-5, 4.77) will look to salvage the series in Washington, D.C., going up against Paolo Espino (0-1, 2.21).

Espino has very limited starting experience, having only started his last three appearances, out of his 23 total appearances this season.

Espino, a RHP, has been dominant against lefties (.480 OPS against), so hopefully there will be some reverse magic.
