It was a dream matchup…Paul Skenes of the Pirates facing the Dodgers and two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell. And Skenes won the duel. Joe Block has the story.
Manager Don Kelly is amazed with the consistency of Paul Skenes.
Skenes says his game was on.
Colin Holderman came on in the ninth to put out the fire after the Dodgers scored three runs. He says the Pirates, winners of 10 of their last 13 games, are playing good baseball.
The Pirates go from sweeping the World Series champs to hosting the team with the best record in baseball when the Milwaukee Brewers visit PNC Park tonight. The Bucs will send Johan Oviedo (2-0, 3.60 ERA) to the mound to face their former number one draft choice, Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.28 ERA), who is enjoying a tremendous first year in Milwaukee.
