Pirates Shut Out Rangers 4-0 in Texas

Mitch Keller delivered a stellar performance, throwing seven-plus shutout innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-0 victory over the Texas Rangers. Keller (11-7) allowed only three hits, struck out nine, and did not issue any walks, marking a significant turnaround after allowing 15 runs in his previous two starts. The Pirates scored all their runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by Bryan De La Cruz's two-run single and Oneil Cruz's RBI triple. Cody Bradford, the Rangers' starter, matched a career high with eight strikeouts but conceded three runs in that pivotal inning. The win marked the Pirates' fourth in six games, while the Rangers faced their sixth shutout of the season, as they struggled to avoid their eighth consecutive lost series. The series finale is set for tomorrow afternoon.
