Fantasy Impact

Keller improved to 4-1 on the season with another strong showing. He did allow a solo home run to Corbin Carroll in the third - just the second home run he has allowed all season - but he has now given up two runs or fewer in six of his eight starts. If you remove his start against Washington on April 14, where he allowed five runs in four innings, Keller is 4-0 with a 2.09 ERA in his other seven starts. All told, the righthander is 4-1 with a 2.87 ERA and a 35:14 K:BB ratio across 47 innings this season. He's slated for a home start against Colorado on Wednesday.

Mitch Keller allowed one run on three hits in seven strong innings against the Reds on Friday to earn his third win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Keller kept the Reds' offense at bay all night, allowing only two singles and a double in seven innings. He walked one and struck out six, throwing 104 pitches - 71 for strikes - in improving to 3-1 on the young season. Keller is already halfway to his win total all of last season and will carry a team-leading 2.85 ERA into his next scheduled start against Arizona on Thursday.

Mitch Keller tossed seven innings on Sunday and allowed two runs on five hits in a 6-3 victory over the Rays. He did not walk a batter and struck out five in the win.

Fantasy Impact

Keller rebounded nicely after his worst start of the season his last time out against the Nationals, going seven strong on Sunday to improve to 2-1 on the year. He was in complete control until a hiccup in the fifth when he allowed a double and back-to-back singles to three consecutive hitters - all with two outs - as the Rays took a 2-1 lead. The Pirates, however, responded with three runs in the bottom half to put Keller back in line for the win. The righthander will take a 2.79 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP into his next scheduled start in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Five of the six hits he allowed were singles, but he did allow a solo home run to CJ Abrams in the third. Keller labored through 90 pitches in four innings and did not record a perfect 1-2-3 frame on the night. It was easily Keller's worst start of the young season as he entered having allowed only two earned runs in his first 18 innings. He now has a 2.86 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP and will look to rebound on Sunday against the Rays.
