Episode Notes

Ryan and Cody break down the Pirates 6-3 victory over the Rays to take the series and finish the homestand 4-3. The boys discuss Mitch Keller's much needed start where he goes seven strong innings with just two runs allowed, no walks and five strikeouts to help save a bullpen that was on fumes. Ryan and Cody also talk about the offense coming through with an early run in the first inning and then finally getting some clutch hits with runners in scoring position to take the lead in the 5th inning and hold the lead. Also, Wilber Dotel makes his MLB debut pitching the 9th inning.
