Skenes Falls To 0-4 Against Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes still hasn’t found what he’s looking for against the St. Louis Cardinals — a win. Skenes fell to 0-4 in five career starts against the Cardinals following a 2-1 loss. It is the most starts by a Pirates pitcher to begin a career against St. Louis without a win since JT Brubaker went 0-6 in eight starts without a win in 2021 and 2022. Skenes pitched well enough in his latest start, allowing two runs on three hits in six innings. But one mistake to Alec Burleson, who hit a two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning, did him in. Skenes says he is just not executing.
