Plus, a setback for Jordan Lawlar, charges filed against Wander Franco in the Dominican Republic, mailbag questions about Gerrit Cole and Luis Castillo, and a few players to consider this weekend in weekly formats. Rundown1:01 Paul Skenes Carries A No-Hitter Through Seven10:01 A Setback for Jordan Lawlar17:14 Steven Kwan & The 'Lucky' Power HitterEno's Story ($) https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/563216221:56 Wander Franco Charged in Dominican Republic23:50 Thoughts on Gerrit Cole Through Four 2024 Starts?31:14 Buying Into Big Second Half for Josh Lowe?36:56 What Is Going On With Luis Castillo's Slider?41:59 Curating Your Own "What Happened?"
