Mitch Keller was back on the mound for the Pirates, but the Philadelphia Phillies had little trouble with Keller smashing five doubles among the eight hits and four runs allowed in five innings. Relief pitcher Cody Ponce gave up seven hits, and the Phillies went on to a 15-4 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates before an announced crowd of 17,875.
The loss was the 13th this season in which the Pirates surrendered 10 or more runs.
The Pirates (40-65) are in Milwaukee tonight to face the Brewers. Bryse Wilson will pitch for the Bucs. Game time is 8:10.
