Paul Skenes Suffers Career-Worst Outing in 10-6 Loss to Phillies

Pirates ace Paul Skenes endured a career-worst performance Wednesday, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on six hits and two walks over four innings in a 10-6 loss to the Phillies. The reigning NL Cy Young winner, who has not won in nine starts, saw his previous career high of five earned runs surpassed. Skenes lamented his lack of execution as analysts continue to monitor his performance slump, which remains a focal point for the Pirates' rotation.
