Skenes Dominant Again In Win Over Rockies

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is making flirting with no-hitters a regular thing. Skenes took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of a 3-1 win over Colorado. It marked the third time in his last four starts that Skenes has reached the fifth inning without giving up a hit. The Rockies didn’t break through until Mickey Moniak’s one-out single in the seventh. Skenes finished by tossing eight innings of two-hit ball, with a season-high 10 strikeouts and no walks. The 23-year-old is now 6-2 on the season with a 1.98 ERA.
