Left-handed pitcher Martin Perez will likely start on the series finale on Wednesday, as he started Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.Keller has had a solid 2024 season so far, 10-5 overall in 18 starts, a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 114.1 innings pitched, 105 strikeouts to just 30 walks and 11 home runs allowed. He leads the Pirates with innings pitched and strikeouts.
The Pirates drafted Skenes No. 1 overall out of LSU in 2023 and brought him up in May, where he's performed as one of the best pitchers in baseball. Skenes also started for the National League in the All-Star game this week. He had a great first inning for the National League, forcing Cleveland Guadians left fielder Steven Kwan to pop out to the infield, and Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson to hit a weak ball back to him for an easy ground out.
