Keller (3-10) took the loss Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Brewers, surrendering two runs on nine hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
It was death by a thousand cuts for Keller, who allowed at least two baserunners in each of the five innings in which he appeared. He was able to keep the Brewers off the board through three before allowing a trio of singles -- one of them plating a run -- and a run-scoring groundout in the fourth. Keller notched one out in the fifth before being lifted with his pitch count at 77. Keller has lost all three of his starts since rejoining the rotation at the beginning of August, logging a dismal 6.28 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 14.1 innings during that stretch. Those numbers aren't far off of the 6.86 ERA and 1.85 WHIP he's posted in 61.2 innings overall this season.
