The Pirates and Twins open up an intriguing three-game series Friday night at PNC Park. 

Pittsburgh is coming off a resounding series victory over the star-studded Dodgers on the backs of its young pitching: Jared Jones and Paul Skenes.

Mitch Keller, the elder statesman of the Pirates' young pitching trio, gets the ball on Friday. The 28-year-old has a 3.42 ERA through 12 starts this season, after earning his first All-Star appearance in 2023.

The Twins find themselves in the midst of a solid season, though the AL Central has unexpectedly emerged as one of baseball's best divisions. Thus, Minnesota finds itself in a distant third place, trailing Cleveland and Kansas City. 

Amid an injury to Royce Lewis and poor play from Byron Buxton, Ryan Jeffers (12 HR) has helped to anchor the offense.
