Paul Skenes Dominates Rockies with 10 Strikeouts in Near No-Hitter

Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes (6-2) delivered a masterclass on Tuesday, carrying a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before it was broken up by a Mickey Moniak single. The 23-year-old phenom finished with 10 strikeouts over eight shutout innings, allowing just two hits and no walks in a 3-1 victory. Skenes continues a historically great stretch, maintaining a sub-2.00 ERA through his first 64 career starts and reinforcing his status as a top NL Cy Young contender.
