After back-to-back rough outings, Mitch Keller rebounded and delivered a brilliant performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4-0 win over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field.

The Rangers (58-69) did not put a single runner in scoring position against Keller, who was taken out after a Josh Jung leadoff single to begin the eighth inning.
