He pitched six innings, giving up eight hits but only allowing runs in a 12-4 victory at home. It was Skenes\u2019 first victory since May 12, ending a nine-game skid without a win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This is Skenes\u2019 second time pitching against the Brewers this season, back on April 24. Skenes pitched seven shutout innings with only one hit allowed in a 6-0 victory on the road. The Pirates hope he can have similar levels of success in today\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Skenes is coming off of winning the Cy Young Award, and he might be passing the torch to Jacob Misiorowski by the end of the season. Misiorowski is one of nine pitchers in all of Major League Baseball with 10 wins in the first half, and he\u2019s doing it all with an ERA under 2.00. In his last start on July 7 against the St. Louis Cardinals, he pitched seven innings, giving up three hits and three earned runs in a 4-3 victory at Busch Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Location: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Broadcast: KDKA AM\/FM, Peacock<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pitching Matchup: Jacob Misiorowski (10-4, 1.62 ERA) vs. Paul Skenes (6-8, 3.62 ERA)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">BD community, chime off in the comments section below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Pirates are playing the final game of the first half of their season by hosting the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[66345,73,75,74],"class_list":["post-241715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pirates-discussion","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
