Suzuki has been hitting well in these L2 series, accumulating 8 hits in his L6 games (4 of which were 2B or better). He’s also batting .289 away & .277 vs RHP & will see RHP Mitch Keller who he’s 4/7 against with a double & 0 K’s batting .571 in his career. Keller’s 6.75 ERA this month isn’t scary, & even if he pitches decent, PIT bullpen is spent (& not even good ranked 22nd). Great spot for Sukuki to stay hot.
