Episode Details

Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates twenty-three-year-old ace, bounced back from a rough start to lead his team to an eight-to-three win over the Reds. Skenes pitched five innings, allowing just one run on three hits with five strikeouts and two walks. His earned run average dropped from 67.50 to 9.63. Despite a tough outing against the Mets, Skenes settled in quickly against the Reds, helping the Pirates win the series finale and even their record at three wins and three losses. Manager Don Kelly praised Skenes effort and plans to gradually increase his pitch count as the season progresses. Skenes, who is five-and-oh against Cincinnati, aims to be a two-hundred-inning workhorse this season. The Pirates will face the Baltimore Orioles in their home opener on Friday, with Mitch Keller taking the mound against Kyle Bradish.
