Spring Training Gameday 7: Mitch Keller takes mound for second time this Spring
Keller takes the mound for second time this Spring.
The Pirates have dropped five of their six Spring Training games after losing to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday 9-8 after blowing a ninth-inning lead.
Despite the result, there were some promising things about the game, including Paul Skenes pitching a clean inning that involved facing Jackson Holliday and Adley Rutschman.
Four of the last five first-overall picks participated in the game, as well as several other top prospects.
The Pirates face the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, who are no stranger to developing top prospects as well.
Mitch Keller will make his second start of the Spring, with first pitch expected around 1:05 pm ET.

Watching defensive highlights from Triolo. Not even his normal position. Guy is just a ball player. Get, like, five more like that.
Pretty stoked for what these ST game threads mean for when they start to count. Really enjoyable to read and BS with all of you.
