PHOENIX – Mitch Keller was about as close to perfect as you can ask of a starter, and even that wasn’t enough to get the Pirates back in the win column.
Keller, who will head to Seattle soon for his first All-Star Game later this week, produced seven scoreless innings while allowing just one hit, and yet the Pirates still fell 3-2 in extra innings to the Diamondbacks Saturday at Chase Field for their fourth loss in a row.
The Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll walked it off with a bases-loaded single in the 10th off closer David Bednar to send the Pirates to their fourth straight loss and fifth of the West Coast road trip.
