Opening Day Showdown: Skenes vs. Peralta - Baseball fans are in for a treat as reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes of the Pirates faces off against Freddy Peralta of the Mets on March 26th at Citi Field. This marks their third head-to-head matchup, with Skenes getting the edge in the first but ending without a decision in a Pirates extra-innings win last season. Peralta dominated the rematch with six scoreless innings for the victory. The Mets traded for Peralta to anchor their rotation, putting him on a collision course with Skenes right away. Skenes posted a 1.97 ERA over 32 starts last season, the best for any Pirates starter in the live ball era, while Peralta had his finest season at 17 wins and 6 losses with a 2.70 ERA in 33 starts. Both pitchers bring proven experience to the front line as both teams chase early momentum.
