LOS ANGELES — Paul Skenes’ homecoming was bumpier than we’ve seen from him in the Majors thus far, as the Orange County kid allowed a season-high four runs in a 4-1 Pirates loss to the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. That defeat extended the Pirates’ losing streak to six games, tied for their longest such stretch this season. While Skenes was able to control the two MVPs in the Dodgers’ lineup, making Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman both go 0-for-3, other hitters gave him trouble. Teoscar Hernández racked up three hits, while Gavin Lux drove in three runs. Offensively, the Pirates had nine hits, but their only run came on a Ke’Bryan Hayes solo shot in the ninth.
