PITTSBURGH — In Tuesday’s 5-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller was only able to go two innings due to shoulder fatigue.

The early exit put the pressure on the Bucs’ bullpen to try and work efficiently and preserve some arms for a stretch of eight straight games without a day off.

Chase De Jong was the first reliever out of the bullpen. Like he has usually done all season, the right-hander got the job done.
