## Resource

Mitch Keller’s recent struggles are raising alarms for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who desperately need him to rebound. After a brutal outing against the Dodgers—four innings, 98 pitches, seven hits—his ERA has ballooned to 5.14, up from a strong 2.87 in his first eight starts. Since May 13, he’s had just one quality start and admits he’s failing to execute pitches and letting walks hurt his game. With the Pirates at 35-34 and playoff hopes on the line, Keller’s ability to induce weak contact and control games is more critical than ever, especially with a shallow bullpen and young starters. Despite the slump, manager Don Kelly and Keller himself remain confident he’ll turn it around, trusting the team’s support system to help him rediscover his form.
