MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mitch Keller struck out 12 in six innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates eventually got to Minnesota’s Sonny Gray in a 7-4 victory over the Twins. Gray retired his first 16 batters before Liover Peguero reached on an infield single with one out in the sixth. Peguero came around to score on Andrew McCutchen’s bases-loaded single with two down, and Ke’Bryan Hayes put Pittsburgh in front with an RBI single. McCutchen added a three-run drive in the ninth. It was McCutchen’s 11th homer.
