BOSTON — Mitch Keller doesn’t wear sleeves when completing household chores. On a chilly day in Boston, Keller flashed some forearms and incredible stuff while delivering one of the best starts of his career, helping the Pirates to a series sweep against the Red Sox.
The red-hot bat of Bryan Reynolds, an overall uptick in offense, terrific work from the bullpen and a flat-out incredible catch by Ji Hwan Bae might’ve been the primary storylines during the first two wins of this series. But in the finale Wednesday afternoon, Keller ensured the starting staff did its part with seven dominant innings.
Keller’s fine work set the stage for a 4-1 Pirates victory against Boston at Fenway Park, Pittsburgh recording its first three-game sweep against an American League team since beating the Detroit Tigers three times in a row from March 30-April 1, 2018.
