PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates' starting rotation began the season as a question mark. Two months later, it's quickly becoming an exclamation point. The emergence of rookies Paul Skenes and Jared Jones and the leadership of Mitch Keller has given the Pirates a needed jolt. Keller worked 6 2/3 solid innings in a victory over Atlanta that improved his record in May to 4-0. Pirates pitchers have made 27 quality starts so far this season. Only the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies have more.
