Falter can thank his offense for giving him this win, as they put up five runs against the Rangers’ bullpen in the fifth inning. Falter struck out just one on the day and walked five while throwing 52 of his 89 pitches for strikes. He posted an OK 21 percent whiff rate but a subpar 19 percent CSW and should not be trusted next week against the Mets.

Hayes came into the game hitting .235 in June with a 12/1 K/BB ratio, so this was a nice game for him. He does have three steals in June, which is good for fantasy leagues, but the power has never developed, and the counting stats continue to be lacking while hitting near the bottom of the Pirates’ lineup. He’s not a fantasy option outside of the deepest formats.

The 27-year-old missed the start of the season with a wrist injury, but has been coming around a bit of late. He has hits in nine of his last 11 games and has gone 12-for-40 (.300) over that stretch. However, that has come with just four RBI, nine runs, and no home runs. He remains more of a deep league fantasy asset.

Keller is an incredible 0-8 while giving up two or three runs this season and 1-10 with a 4.02 ERA overall. One wonders if he has any regrets about his commitment to the Pirates; if he didn’t do an extension through 2028, Keller would have been eligible for free agency for the first time this winter, and while he probably wouldn’t have broken the bank, he could have spent the rest of his prime pitching for a team trying to win. Perhaps a team like the Mets, who he’ll be facing next time out.
