Pirates' Mitch Keller ends 15-start winless streak
PITTSBUURGH (AP) — Mitch Keller hadn't won a game since the early days of the season. 'It was just a great team win. That's what matters to me, team wins, and I was just glad to do my part," the 29-year-old right-hander said after leading the Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Mets 9-1 on Friday night. "You only have so much control over individual wins, which is why I don't worry about them.' Advertisement Keller (2-10) allowed one run and five hits in 5 1/3 innings with four strikeouts and a walk. He had been 0-10 with a 4.10 ERA in 15 starts since winning at Miami on March 28, the longest winless streak within a season in Pirates history. Pittsburgh hadn't scored more than four runs in any of Keller's previous starts. 'They were swinging early in the game but then I was able to start getting some quick outs,' Keller said. 'I started throwing more strikes and I think that was the difference.' Juan Soto homered in the fourth, his 20th this season. Keller was pulled at 91 pitches in the sixth inning with a 5-1 lead after walking Soto and allowing a single to Pete Alonso. Advertisement 'For Mitch, that was awesome,' Pirates manager Don Kelly said. 'He did what he's done consistently throughout this year. Pitched really, really well against a really good team. To score some runs for him felt really good, and to get him the win was great.' ___ AP MLB: John Perrotto, The Associated Press

Bryan Reynolds (3-run HR), Pirates pound Mets
June 28 - Bryan Reynolds hit a three-run home run and Alexander Canario hit two doubles to lead the host Pittsburgh Pirates to a 9-1 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series. Reynolds' 402-foot home run -- his ninth of the season -- off Mets reliever Blade Tidwell in the sixth inning made it 9-1 Pirates, which halted a two-game skid and won for the third time in five games. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Mets and was their 11th defeat in their past 14 games. The Pirates jumped ahead with four runs in the second off Mets starter David Peterson (5-4). Jared Triolo singled, Canario doubled and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (two hits) singled to drive in a run apiece, then Tommy Pham drove in a fourth on a groundout. Peterson gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings. Kiner-Falefa, Ke'Bryan Hayes and Andrew McCutchen had two hits each for Pittsburgh. Juan Soto got the Mets on the board in the fourth with his 20th home run of the season off Pirates starter Mitch Keller (2-10) to cut their deficit to 4-1. Keller would not surrender any more runs as he recorded his first win since March 28. He pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Brett Baty posted two hits for New York. Brandon Nimmo was hit by a pitch on the left wrist from reliever Genesis Cabrera in the eighth but remained in the game. Cabrera made his team debut, tossing 1 1/3 shutout innings with one strikeout. --Field Level Media
