## Resource

Pirates ace Paul Skenes, Rookie of the Year and Cy Young winner, is hitting rough patches—six starts, zero wins, despite dazzling stats and hard-luck losses. His team’s offense keeps falling short, scoring three or fewer runs in five of his last six outings. Post-game, Skenes stayed stoic, brushing off frustration with “It’s baseball,” while his 2.15 ERA proves he’s pitching elite baseball. The Pirates keep losing, and even his best efforts aren’t enough to break the losing streak. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
