The Kansas City Royals hammered the Pirates yesterday.
Joe Block has the sad recap.
The Pirates open a four-game series in Cincinnati with a pair of 7-inning games today. Cody Ponce pitches Game One against Trevor Bauer and Mitch Keller returns from the Injured List for the nightcap, against Anthony DeSclafani. Keller has been out since going on the IL August 2nd with a strained oblique muscle.
