PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes struck out nine in six dominant innings, Bryan De La Cruz hit a three-run double during a six-run fifth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-0. Skenes (8-2), the rookie who started last month’s All-Star game, allowed just two hits and one walk after going 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in his previous three starts. Ben Heller pitched two innings and Chris Stratton worked the ninth to finish the five-hit shutout. The Reds were blanked for the 11th time this season. Nick Lodolo (9-6) took the loss.
