Keller allows three homers in loss to Nationals

Mitch Keller

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Player Stats

Mitch Keller allowed five earned runs over six innings while striking out three to pick up the loss on Friday against the Nationals.

Keller gave up a solo homer to Luis Garcia Jr. with one out in the bottom of the first inning to put the Nationals up 1-0. It would be the only run Keller would allow in the frame, but the Nationals would continue to jump all over him in the ensuing innings. Keller surrendered another solo homer to Daylen Lile in the second inning and gave up a two-run homer to José Tena in the second inning, as the Nationals put on an early power surge against the righty. Keller would make it through six innings before being pulled, but his struggles looked all too familiar in this one. He has now allowed five earned runs or more in four of his last seven outings, and has seen his ERA balloon to 5.02 after ending May with a 4.35 ERA. He faces another tough matchup in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday against the Braves.

Mitch Keller was pulled after three innings in Thursday’s loss to the Braves, allowing three earned runs.

Not good. Keller’s ERA in his last seven starts is now 6.69 and he’s carrying a 1.63 WHIP with it. Keller was yanked after 72 pitches, and managed just five whiffs on 32 swings. Perhaps the rest of an All-Star break will help him rediscover the inning-eating form of the past two seasons.

Mitch Keller allowed four runs -- three earned -- with four strikeouts over six innings in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

Keller held the Reds scoreless through three, then gave up two runs, one earned, in the fourth on an error and two hits. He gave up two more runs in the fifth on a walk and two hits. Keller gave the Pirates one more scoreless frame, ending his day after six with four strikeouts. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 4.87 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 73/33 K/BB ratio across 94 1/3 innings into a road start against the Nationals on Friday.

Mitch Keller surrendered three runs in six-plus innings Tuesday in a loss to the Mariners.

It was one run through six, but Keller gave up a double, a go-ahead homer and a walk before being pulled in the seventh. At least it still rates as Keller’s first quality start in a month, as he had a 9.50 ERA in his previous four starts. The loss, his first in a quality start this year, drops him to 5-5 with a 4.89 ERA overall. That’s quite a change from last year, when he was 1-10 with a 4.02 ERA on this date. He’ll face the Reds next.

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Mitch Keller allowed five runs -- four earned -- with seven strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Keller loaded the bases on three walks in the first inning before Zack Gelof cleared them all with a base hit. Lawrence Butler followed with a double to make it a four-run first inning for the A’s. Keller settled in to pitch into the sixth before giving up solo homer to Gelof. That would do it for Keller, ending his day with one out in the sixth with seven strikeouts. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 5.25 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 65/31 K/BB ratio across 82 1/3 innings into a start against the Mariners in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Mitch Keller wasn’t at his best during Thursday evening’s loss to the Dodgers, surrendering five runs on seven hits in just four innings of work.

Keller also issued four free passes in the contest while striking out three. After navigating a pair of scoreless innings to start the day, the Dodgers broke through for three runs in the third including a solo homer by Shohei Ohtani then tacked on another pair in the fourth inning. Keller generated four swings and misses on 98 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of only 18 percent. He’ll try to put this one behind him and bounce back as he carries a 5.14 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 58/27 K/BB ratio (77 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Athletics in West Sacramento. Given how poorly he has pitched over his last three starts, fantasy managers should avoid that one at all costs.

Mitch Keller allowed six earned runs over 4 2/3 innings while striking out four in Friday’s loss to the Braves.

Keller narrowly avoided trouble in the first inning after allowing two batters to reach base, but didn’t enjoy the same fortunes in the second inning. After putting two men on again in the inning, Keller would allow an RBI single to Ronald Acuña to give the Braves their first run of the night. Keller would surrender a two-run homer to Mauricio Dubón in the third inning and was lit up for three more runs in the fifth before being pulled with two outs. Keller is in a bit of a funk after allowing 13 earned runs over his last 8 2/3 innings. Things won’t get any easier for him in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday against the Dodgers.

Mitch Keller gave up seven runs while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Saturday.

Keller gave up a run on two hits in the second inning. The Twins followed with a second run on two more hits in the third. Keller got into more trouble in the fourth, giving up five runs to blow a five-run lead. The fourth inning would be his last, ending his day at 77 pitches. He struck out five. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 4.35 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 51/20 K/BB ratio across 68 1/3 innings into a start against the Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

Mitch Keller delivered another strong performance during Sunday’s victory over the Blue Jays, striking out five batters over six innings of one-run baseball.

Keller allowed just four hits on the afternoon while issuing three free passes. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single off the bat of Ernie Clement in the fourth inning. He generated 11 swings and misses on 101 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 5-2 on the season, the 30-year-old righty will carry a 3.64 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 46/19 K/BB ratio (64 1/3 innings) into Friday’s showdown against the Twins.

Mitch Keller gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

He fanned three. Keller has kept it together from an ERA perspective this year, but that’s mostly because he’s allowed only four homers while being a modest flyball pitcher with a weak strikeout rate. It’s not going to last, even if he does pitch half of his games in pitcher friendly ballpark. His 18 percent strikeout rate this year is down from a career mark of 22 percent, and his velocity is down about two mph from his best season in 2022. He just doesn’t figure to be very good going forward. His next start is slated for Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Mitch Keller took the loss on Wednesday against Colorado, allowing six earned on seven hits over 5 2/3 frames.

Keller struck out three and walked just one. He was perfect through four before a six-run outburst in the fifth, including a three-run homer off the bat of Mickey Moniak. The 30-year-old righty entered this start with a 2.87 ERA, but all his estimators suggested nothing much had changed. His next start is scheduled to come on the road in St. Louis.

Jacob Misiorowski didn’t bounce back from his last start as hoped and won’t face the Pirates as scheduled on Sunday.

A conspiracy theorist might wonder if this was the plan all along — it would have been Misiorowski’s first time ever making consecutive starts on four days’ rest — and the Brewers only scheduled him to pitch Sunday to get him out of an All-Star appearance. But while that’d be good news, we’ll go with the official line that he’s just dealing with some fatigue. There’s nothing yet to suggest he’ll be going on the injured list.
