Game Thread: Pirates (Keller) v Twins (Gray), 8/19 @ 6:10pm CT

But when is it ok to say Kepler’s having a good year? I know 110 OPS+ is nothing to write home about for a corner outfielder…but, you can win with it, it’s decent, and light years better than last season.

What's the Twins record for Ks in game?

[IndianaTwin]

Help me out on the run, folks, Gameday says, "Max Kepler doubles on a line drive to right fielder Joshua Palacios, deflected by Mitch Keller. Jorge Polanco scores."

What happened?

Low liner up the middle hit Keller in the foot and deflected all the way over the 1st baseman's head into shallow right.
