The Pittsburgh Pirates will open their four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds with Paul Skenes toeing the slab.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will look to get back into the win column on Thursday when they begin a four-game series against their NL Central rival Cincinnati Reds, and they'll have the right man on the mound to do so.
Skenes is 7-2 with a 2.30 ERA and 121 strikeouts in 98 innings pitched. There's also plenty of speculation about whether or not the Pirates will shut him down as they fall out of Wild Card contention. How the Pirates handle Skenes' pitch count will bear watching, as they have effectively fallen out of the playoff race.
