Skenes Struggles Amid Recovery Plan | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Paul Skenes got extra rest between starts hoping to shake off a slump, but it didn’t help—he left his start early after giving up 3 runs, walking 4 batters, and striking out 5. Despite feeling physically fresh and his fastball velocity up, he struggled to find rhythm. The Pirates’ bullpen saved the day with a scoreless finish, and they rallied for a walk-off win. Skenes, though frustrated by his recent 0-3 record and rising walks, stays positive, focusing on his strikeout numbers and hitters making contact. He’s navigating a tough stretch but remains committed to long-term growth. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
