Paul Skenes, a rookie pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, impressed in his third big-league start against the San Francisco Giants, striking out 18 batters in 10 innings. Despite a strong performance, the Pirates blew leads in consecutive games, leading to losses against the Giants. Skenes finished his latest outing with a quality start, pitching 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk, lowering his ERA to 2.25.
Pirates continue to waste Paul Skenes starts. Must be tough to be a Pirates fan.

Paul Skenes gets a standing ovation. His day is done. A snapshot: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K ... 93-62 Racks up 13 whiffs Goes 43% 4-seamers, 38% splinkers Average velo: 98.6 mph Second straight QS
Skenes doesn't have his A++ stuff like he did in Chicago. He's navigated 6 IP w/1 run on 6 hits (all singles) with 1ER and just 3Ks. That may be just as important in terms of his development as going 6 IP, OH w/12 Ks.
77 pitches for Skenes after five innings. 2-3-4 is due up in the top of the sixth. I don't see anyone warming up in the Pirates bullpen.

Skenes wasn't phased by the leadoff hit. A double play and a strikeout get him out of the first clean. 17 pitches so far, 11 strikes.
For the first time in his career (three games) Paul Skenes has allowed a leadoff hit to start a game.
