Skenes has been lights out since being promoted to the majors
Pirates ace Paul Skenes struck out nine in a win Monday to bring his total to 151 this year, setting a franchise record for a rookie.
Skenes gave up six hits, walked one and struck out nine. The win is his 10th of the season and fourth in his last five starts. Skenes has allowed two runs or less in each of his last five starts. He has a 2.10 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 151 strikeouts in 120 innings this year. The only thing that can stop Skenes this year is a potential innings limit in the final weeks of the season. The 22-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals at home this weekend.
