Shortly after, in a highly anticipated matchup, pitcher Paul Skenes faced Holliday, delivering a striking performance by striking him out with a 102 MPH fastball. Skenes, demonstrating his prowess, threw six of his eleven pitches in the first inning at speeds over 100 MPH, with two strikeouts, including Holliday.
