The gymnast was not happy with Pittsburgh's bullpen.
with a 10-3 lead—well on his way to his ninth MLB win. Four innings later, the Pirates' bullpen had completely imploded, surrendering 11 runs—six of which came in the top of the ninth inning. Chicago went on to win 14-10.
Dunne was not please with the result. She took to X and tweeted a GIF of Skenes saying, "You gotta be kidding me."Skenes was solid on Wednesday, as he went five innings and allowed five hits and three runs , while striking out six and walking one. He should have won the game. Unfortunately, Kyle Nicolas and Aroldis Chapman combined to give up five runs after Skenes exited, so the Pirates hit the ninth inning with a 10-8 lead. That's when David Bednar threw gasoline on the fire.
Bednar went 2/3 of an inning and over the course of 28 pitches he gave up five runs on three hits and two walks. It was his sixth blown save of the season and his ERA ballooned to 6.32 as a result. Jalen Beeks relieved him and wasn't much better, giving up three hits and another run before getting the final out in the ninth.
