The first loss of the season and the worst trip, the senior right -handed Sonny Gray, Wednesday afternoon when they hosted Pittsburgh Pirates St. St. Louis Cardinals will continue to continue the last roll.
Cardinals aim to sweep a three -game and want to extend the highest -winning line of the season to five games. Gray (3-1, 4.12 ERA), pirates will try to capture the line of losing six games of the season, right-handed Mitch Keller (1-3, 4.38) will oppose.
Gray, last Friday, left six runs against New York Mets. It included nine hits of the season and three walks of the season. Gray hit under, but the beginning of the season after delivering a two -round house run to Pete Alonso ended after the lowest 4 1/3 inning of the season.
“I think I was probably trying to be very cute there, Gr Gray said. “But normally I looked for something to do, maybe I tried to think too much or to do something, and it wasn't right.”
Gray's 29 strikes and only four walks in the first five this season were among the best in baseball. However, his activity decreased slightly on his last two trips; He walked six as he hit 10.
“You are trying to limit the damage, you don't give a free switch,” Gray said. “I don't think I did one of them.”
Gray is 6-4 with 13 general matches against 4.02 ERA and pirates at the beginning of 12 career.
Keller struggled a little bit on his last trip, threw five Inning, and allowed five runs (four wins) in eight strokes, including a home run. Keller took a walk and shot three in San Diego Padres on Friday with 9-4 defeats.
“In addition to the home run, I gave up a couple of broken injuries single, a couple of weak contacts, a couple of below.” He said. “I'm not very sorry about it. I'm sorry we lost, but I'm not very pleased with where I threw the ball.”
Keller, at the beginning of 14 career against Cardinals with 3.38 ERA 2-3, Busch Stadium in seven of those who started with 362 ERA 2-2. It was intact from time to time this season, but it wasn't always dominant.
And this is something that pirates forced the starting rotations to be caused by lack of crime.
Pittsburgh is entering the game on Wednesday, only behind 106 of Colorado, Majors (118) threw the second runs. On Tuesday, the pirates could not give Ace Paul Skenes more than a support for 2-1 loss.
Ke'bryan Hayes, who recorded his 500th career hit and put on this alone, said that the team should find a way to do more running.
“Not only for (Keller), but only for everyone. Jug – beginners and bulls – they do a really good job and we just have to take them and run them.” He said. “However, this is drawing walks, whether this big hit, we have to find a way. They do a really good job to get us, so we have to find out how to get them.”
