At least he avoided the loss. Keller is 0-for-10 with four no-decisions when giving up more than one run this season. It’s been exactly one year since his last win while allowing more than one run; he allowed two runs over eight innings in an 8-2 defeat of the Mets on July 8, 2024. The Pirates have Thursday off, so unless something changes in the rotation, Keller’s next outing will probably come in the first game after the break.

Armed with his new contact prescription, Pham is one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Three more hits here gives him a .337/.394/.478 over his last 30 games and there are no signs of him slowing down. The Pirates have bumped him up to the lead-off spot during this hot streak and he should be productive there until he’s (likely) traded to a contender later this month.

Falter didn’t have much going for him here. He barely missed any bats, striking out just three Royals, and gave up a lot of hard contact, most notably a 466-foot home run by Jac Caglianone. He was fortunate to only allow the three runs considering the Royals put runners on base in every inning and had four extra-base hits in total. The Pirates will (hopefully) call up star prospect Bubba Chandler at some point during the second half and that could put Falter’s rotation spot in jeopardy, unless he or another starter is traded before that happens.
