Skenes Carries Pirates Without Griffin | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
Pirates’ star rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is out for 8-10 weeks after tearing a ligament in his finger, leaving the team’s offense without its spark plug. With Griffin sidelined, ace pitcher Paul Skenes — Cy Young winner and the team’s lone hope — is stepping up under pressure. Despite a rough patch, Skenes is showing signs of rebounding, inducing more ground balls and delivering a strong recent outing against Atlanta. With the bullpen shaky and the season on the line, Skenes must carry the Pirates into the playoffs — and they’re counting on him to rise to the occasion.
