Mixing on 0-0

One pitcher throws a curve on 0-0 about a third of the time; another throws his fastball 0-0 nearly every time and posts a higher first-pitch-strike rate yet fewer 0-2 counts.

Why can mixing pitch types on 0-0 generate more two-strike counts even with a lower first-pitch-strike rate?
