The Pittsburgh Pirates are taking some heat for their decision against the Brewers.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates had everyone glued to their seats, or their televisions, as Paul Skenes led seven no-hit innings and eying up his first-ever no-hitter in Milwaukee. Then, he was pulled.
Skenes finished his day with 11 strikeouts and 99 pitches, lowering his ERA to 1.90 with 89 strikeouts through 11 starts. At just 22-years-old, he could've walked into the All-Star game with a historic day just over his shoulder. Instead, analysts and fans are wondering why he was pulled.Look, I get it, he’s the future of this franchise and you need to be careful, just say that. Be honest, don’t tell us he was tired when he was very much not.
After the game, Skenes said he wanted to finish the battle but understood the reasoning for being pulled. "Yeah, definitely wanted to finish it," Skenes said. "But throwing every five days, six days, whatever it is now, definitely understand that side of it." The Pirates will have to wait for another memorable night from their rookie pitcher, but with more starts, Skenes is seemingly becoming more dominant in the MLB. A great sign for Pittsburgh, and one that could indicate more historic nights are ahead for Skenes.
