Skenes' season, like the previous ones, has generated comments on social media, mainly about how the Pirates' offense doesn't help him much in his starts. This is true and easily verifiable, as although Skenes has an elite 1.94 ERA, he only managed to register 4 wins this season. Skenes has said on several occasions that winning is his most important goal, so that will be a constant conflict during his time with the Pirates, who, based on recent reports, are unwilling to trade or let him go.
Skenes will have another outing in an attractive pitching duel on Friday against the Twins in a new series. Once again, the Twins were able to string together two consecutive series wins at Target Field against the Rays and Cubs, and his stay now continues against the Pirates. The person in charge of starting that game for the Twins? The always efficient Joe Ryan.
