Entering last Thursday's game in relief for the Royals in his debut, Keppel tossed 3.1 innings against the first-place Detroit Tigers, and allowed just one run on two hits, while striking out 4.

Keppel kicked off the '03 season for Brooklyn as the starting pitcher in both the team's first game of the year (6/18) and the home opener (6/23). In Brooklyn as part of a rehab assignment, he made one other start (6/28) before being re-assigned to Binghamton (AA). Keppel was 2-0 for the Cyclones with a 2.51 ERA. In 14.1 innings, he allowed 10 hits, five runs, four earned, and two walks, while striking out 13.
