On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses Mitch Keller's first career complete game shutout performance on Monday night, blanking the Colorado Rockies and ending the Pirates season-long seven game losing streak. Can Mitch Keller continue on this upward trajectory? Also, Luis Ortiz is more than likely starting Tuesday night in Colorado for his 2023 debut with the Pirates and after a few brief appearances at the big league level last season, what expectations should we have for Ortiz tonight? Finally, the Pirates have been aggressive on the base paths all season, but at what point does it starting hurting more than helping? All of that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.
