That was an entire game when it felt like they were not even close to scoring. Body language in the cold weather from the players not that great.

[allentown]

I only read the play-by-play here but curious how Kepler doesn't score from 1B on a two-out dourble.

Cal Stevenson

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Cal Stevenson replaces Johan Rojas.
Mound Visit.
Called strike (98.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (87.5 mph slider)
On-field Delay.
Foul tip (98.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Cal Stevenson strikes out on a foul tip.

This move seems dumb. Rojas is hitting better this year and could have been the tying run, with his speed that could be helpful

left fielder cut the ball off by the line before it even reached the warning track

[BostonRoss]

The radio broadcasters noted that Keller as a severe platoon split; LHB have an OPS over 1.000 while RHB are under .400. However, that's just for this year--9.1 innings--and two straight RHBs had just reached off Keller. Keller's career platoon splits are minimal. So I agree with you.
