Episode Details

Paul Skenes dominated with six scoreless innings, returning to his old self and shutting down the Padres’ offense for the first time since May. The real fireworks came in the ninth when Oneil Cruz crushed a solo homer off All-Star closer Mason Miller — Miller’s first dinger of the season and Cruz’s first go-ahead blast in the ninth or later. Just days after returning from injury, Cruz is on fire, helping the Pirates snap a tough stretch and gain ground in the wild card race. With Skenes back to form and Cruz delivering clutch hits, this Pirates team is proving they’ve got the grit and talent to keep fighting.
