## Resource

Pirates drop another series to the Marlins, losing a heartbreaker 4-2 in Game 6 with Paul Skenes pitching a solid six innings—10 Ks, 2 runs—but the offense couldn’t deliver. It’s now the sixth straight loss when Skenes starts, frustrating manager Don Kelly and highlighting a team-wide struggle to string wins together. With a 36-36 record and two games behind the Wild Card, the Pirates need to break their skid fast. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
