Skenes Struggles in Pirates Loss

Pirates fall in opener as Skenes struggles, allowing four runs in five innings — his first rough outing since rookie year. Manager Don Kelly admits it’s tough on the young pitcher when his starts don’t lead to wins. Skenes, with a 6-7 record and 3.10 ERA, hasn’t won since May 12 and hasn’t picked up a win in June. Despite recent no-decisions, he believes he’s pitching well overall and is focused on refining his game. Pirates look to bounce back tomorrow against the Reds.
