Pirates fall to Rays 4-3 in extra innings

The Pittsburgh Pirates were victimized by a 10th-inning pinch-hit, walk-off single by Harold Ramirez that squashed an earlier Buccos comeback and led to a 4-3 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays and kicked off the new series with defeat after they took three of four from the Chicago Cubs earlier this week.

Mitch Keller got off to a rocky start, allowing three runs in the first inning, but he settled in and went the Shelton Five and actually looked pretty good as the game went on, finishing with a line of five innings pitched, giving up three runs on five hits with a walk and five strikeouts.
