Skenes Starts 5/5/24

S.Samek

Paul Skenes made his next start against Buffalo yesterday, let’s see how he did.

The outing was a bit rougher than usual. He allowed two runs, three hits, walked two and struck out four. He allowed a home run as one of those hits. which was the first one he’d allowed sense being drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Skenes pitched 4 1/3 innings throwing 66 pitches with 40 of them being for strikes.

His era sits at 0.99 so far this season. He received another no decision as the Indianapolis Indians would go on to win the game 8-3.

While the start wasn’t his best, it was on four days’ rest. He does continue to show promise overall. I’m sure the calls for him to be brought up to Pittsburgh will continue to come.
