Paul Skenes delivered an impressive performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching 7⅔ innings with one unearned run allowed, but walked away without a win as the game was tied when he was pulled. Despite this, he lowered his ERA to an impressive 1.88, indicating his strong form this season. The Pirates won the game 2-1 against the struggling Philadelphia Phillies, completing a sweep of the series. Manager Don Kelly praised Skenes for his ability to dominate the strike zone while emphasizing the importance of this win for the team's morale.
We've been playing pretty good ball for a little bit now and either haven't come out with wins or lost by a run... it's nice to finally get some wins out of it.
[Skenes] continued to fill up the strike zone, elite stuff... he was unbelievable again today.
