Paul Skenes gave up a leadoff home run and the Pirates’ fading offense couldn’t keep up with the Cubs last night. Joe Block recaps another Bucco loss, their tenth in the last eleven games.
Manager Donnie Kelly says Skenes didn’t have his best stuff.
Kelly is searching for the Pirates’ offense, which has produced only seven hits in the first two games of the series.
Paul Skenes says he didn’t have it last night.
The series concludes this afternoon. Johan Oviedo [2-0, 2.81 ERA] throws for the Pirates against the Cubs’ left-hander, Matthew Boyd [13-8, 3.05 ERA]. Airtime is 12:10, first pitch at 12:35 on WCCS.
The Pirates sent Liover Peguero down to Indianapolis and called up Rafael Flores, the catcher/first baseman they acquired from the Yankees in the David Bednar trade in July.
