Summary
Paul Skenes keeps pitching like a superstar—his third straight quality start included six innings and just two runs—but the Pirates keep falling, dropping below .500 after a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the worst team in baseball. Despite his solid numbers and a still-impressive ERA of 2.86, Skenes now carries a 6-7 record and hasn’t won since May. He’s staying level-headed, calling it a “fickle game,” and focusing on getting outs—not letting frustration cloud his command, even as he walks and hits batters. The Rockies are coming for him—and the Pirates’ playoff hopes—are in serious danger. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
