Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller allowed two runs in five innings in a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. Keller struck out three and walked four in the outing.

Fantasy Impact

The damage came on a two-run homer off of the bat of Tim Anderson. Keller didn't appreciate Anderson's bat flip after the bomb, so he drilled the shortstop with a pitch in his next at-bat, prompting the benches to empty. Both Keller and Anderson were ejected from the game for their role in the dustup. Expect the league to suspend Keller for his actions on Wednesday.

Either way, Keller is off to a strong start this season, posting a 2-1 record, 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings of work. He's quickly becoming a strong asset in mixed leagues.
