Pirates rookie Keller leaves game after being hit by liner

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pirates rookie right-hander Mitch Keller has been pulled from a game after being struck in the right wrist by a line drive.

Keller was injured in the second inning on a comebacker hit by Miami’s Garrett Cooper. Considered the Pirates’ top prospect coming into the season, Keller was making his eighth major league start Tuesday night. He is 1-3 with an 8.18 ERA.

Clay Holmes relieved Keller with the game scoreless.
