Paul Skenes is firing on all cylinders, turning his season around with three straight wins and a stellar 2.45 ERA. His last start was his best yet—seven innings, one run, 10 strikeouts, and 100 pitches—marking the first time a Pirates starter has gone that deep since May. He credits quick outs for his efficiency and dominance. Facing tough divisional foes like the Cubs and Reds, he’s already proven effective, especially against Chicago. While he’s trailing some in off-speed pitch performance, his win-streak and clutch outings make him a Cy Young frontrunner with momentum building as the season winds down.
