Last night the Pirates were losers to the Giants in 5-4 with the late comeback effort falling just short. Mitch Keller’s struggles on the mound returned right of out the gate where the Giants gathered 3 runs on the board in the first inning. It hurt even more when Vogt homered in the 5th to make it 5-0, causing a bit of an early exit for the rookie Keller. Mitch’s line: 5 IP, 9 H, 5 R/ER, 0 BB, 7 SO. Strikeout/walk totals were solid but the hits just killed him. As for the offense, it just wasn’t there at all for the majority of the game. They had a few opportunities here and there to score including a base loaded no out situation, but a failure to convert resulted in no runs through 7 innings. The bats came alive in the eighth. Lots happening on the base paths, where Melky Cabrera opened the scoring for the Bucs with his 2-run double. Josh Bell matched Melky with a 2-run HR to pull the Bucs to within a run. Near perfect effort from Clay Holmes and Francisco Liriano got the Pirate to this position, but the boys couldn’t cash in during the 9th inning with the tying run reaching first. One of those losses where if Mitch was a tiny bit better or the offense scored earlier in the game, it could’ve gone the other way. Oh well. It’s in the books as a loss. The Pirates turn their attention to game 3 with the Giants where Dario Agrazal gets the ball looking to flip the switch for what has been a rough stretch for his individual play. Game tonight is at 9:45 EST. #ProtectTheShip #LetsGoBucs
