Mitch Keller pitches complete game shutout as the Pirates beat the Rockies
Gene J. Puskar
What happened: A two-run shot from Rodolfo Castro was the difference in this one, as the Pirates beat the Rockies 2-0 to open the three-game series.
On the mound: A good old fashion pitchers’ duel. Kyle Freeland pitched seven innings, giving up just that two-run home run. Mitch Keller pitched a complete game shutout for the Pirates. Keller allowed just four hits.
At the plate: Kris Bryant had two hits, including the 1,000th of his career. Charlie Blackmon and Mike Moustakas were the only other Colorado players to get a hit.
What’s next: Colorado Rockies (RHP Connor Seabold, 0-0, 5.30) at Pittsburgh Pirates (TBD) at 4:35 p.m. MT Tuesday (AT&T SportsNet).

Elias Díaz, Ezequiel Tovar lead Colorado Rockies to win over Mets
The best position player for the Colorado Rockies so far this season will come as a surprise to most. It’s not Kris Bryant, who is on a seven-year, $180 million contract. Not Charlie Blackmon either, who has been the face of the team for the past decade. The right answer isn’t C.J. Cron, last year’s […]

Connor Seabold was in a bind of his own making. He walked two in the fifth, loading the bases with two outs. Veteran Carlos Santana was at the plate — not the guy you want to face in that situation. Seabold, though, got ahead early because of an automatic strike. He threw two balls to go […]
