Mentioned in this video
The Pittsburgh Pirates salvaged the final game of their series in Toronto with a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays, powered by Mitch Keller’s strong start and three much-needed home runs from Spencer Horwitz, Oneil Cruz, and Esmerlyn Valdez.
Tyler and Doug break down Keller’s role as the Pirates’ stopper, why his consistency matters so much to this rotation, and how the Pirates finally found the over-the-fence power they have been missing. They also dive into Valdez’s first major league hit and first major league home run, Oneil Cruz getting back into one, Spencer Horwitz continuing to look like a professional hitter, and another nervous finish from the bullpen.
Plus, the guys talk Mason Montgomery, Johan Ramirez, Gregory Soto, Don Kelly’s bullpen decisions, and why this win mattered before the Pirates head into a Memorial Day matchup with the Cubs.
