Paul Skenes Roughed Up as Brewers Rout Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes endured one of his most challenging outings of the season on Tuesday, surrendering four earned runs on six hits, including two home runs, and two walks over just four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers' relentless offense forced Skenes out of the game early in their dominant 14-0 victory. This performance caused Skenes' season ERA to rise from a league-leading 1.94 to 2.13, and marked the first time he allowed a first-inning run and only the second time he gave up multiple home runs this season.
