PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes was knocked around a bit by the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing a career-high five runs in a 5-3 loss at frigid PNC Park. Skenes (1-1), who was electric in his first two starts this season, was spotty this time around. The 22-year-old reigning National League Rookie of the Year allowed six hits with a walk and seven strikeouts as his ERA more than doubled from 1.46 to 3.44. Victor Scott II had two hits, including a two-run triple off Skenes in the third. Brendan Donovan also had two hits in St. Louis, which won for only the second time in eight games.
