PITTSBURGH — Mitch Keller pitched eight innings for his 10th win of the season and Joshua Palacios' home run capped a five-run sixth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Mets 8-2. Keller allowed two runs and seven hits in a 107-pitch outing while striking out six and walking none. He is the first Pirates pitcher to have double-digit victories before the All-Star break since Gerrit Cole in 2015 and Pittsburgh earned a split of the four-game series. Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz and New York's Brandon Nimmo each hit two-run home runs.
