## Resource

Paul Skenes, once a dominant pitcher, has recently faced a slump, allowing more hits and runs in his last two starts. His lack of strikeouts and the Blue Jays ability to make solid contact have contributed to his struggles. Despite his overall good numbers, the Pirates are concerned as theyve fallen back to a .500 record, and Skeness performance has drawn attention due to his high standards.
