Mitch Keller News: Punches out nine

Keller (6-12) earned the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out nine in six innings.

Keller was nearly through four scoreless frames, but Nolan Gorman took him deep for a two-run shot with two outs to get the Cardinals on the board. Keller racked up a season-high nine strikeouts and recorded his first quality start since July 22. He's now up to 16 quality starts this season, which is tied for 10th in MLB. Keller will look to build on his positive outing when he faces the Dodgers in a home start next week.
