Gameday 159: Pirates play last home game of the season looking for series win
Mitch Keller vs Aaron Civale
The Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their 2024 home schedule with a day game against the Milwaukee Brewers. After winning 2-1 on Wednesday, they also have a chance to close it on a high note with a series win against a playoff-bound divisional opponent.
Liover Peguero stepped into the lineup and made an impact, driving in the only two runs of the game for the Pirates with a double.
Luis Ortiz capped off his successful 2024 season with a win after tossing seven one-run innings, striking out five. It was his seventh win of the season.
Mitch Keller will make his last start of the season as he looks to finish on a strong note amidst a frustrating second half. He’s gone 1-6 with a 5.68 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break.
First pitch is expected at 12:35 pm ET.

Best WS would be Ohtani vs Judge. And some other all-stars surrounding them. I just want to watch high quality baseball, not this replacement level ball that we've had for 6 months.
Watched the game late tonite, just an awful game for Cruz with getting picked off, dropping a fly ball that pops out of his glove, and a TOOTBLAN for good measure. I can't watch Key, Triolo, BLDC, or Cruz for another season. Best part of game was Wehner and Brownie discussing how the team must play "the game" better next year. And good to hear them admit we can't sign expensive players like the big spenders do, so we have to do the little things extremely well. Then the camera zoomed in on Shelton. Only four more days til house cleaning.
