Skenes Laughs Off Lip-Reader Moment After Rockies Bunt
Paul Skenes dominated the Rockies with eight scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts as the Pirates beat Colorado 3-1. After striking out six straight, Willi Castro bunted, and Skenes was seen joking “nice bunt.” He says he didn’t say it to Castro, only to himself, and credits reporters with being good lip readers. The performance continues his string of dominance (no runs in his last 16 innings) as Pittsburgh sits in the NL Central race.
