ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mitch Keller limited Texas to three singles through seven-plus innings following his two poorest starts of the season to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-0 win over the Rangers. Keller (11-7) struck out nine to equal a season high and walked none while throwing 98 pitches as the Pirates won for the fourth time in their last six games following a season-long 10-game losing streak. The Rangers’ Cody Bradford (4-1) matched a career high with eight strikeouts over seven innings while allowing five hits. But four of the hits came in the fourth inning when the Pirates scored three runs.
