I think a lot of us were. But he didn’t get off to a good start and it cost him playing time eventually. He needed to be on the field everyday. That’s why I’d like to see him go down to Indy, play everyday and see if he can make up for lost time.

Cardinals, in the 4th, finally get two balls to the outfield, both fly outs. Still no score.

1-0 Cards. solo HR.

Arenado hits a lead-off HR and then Skenes gets down to business by striking out the next three batters. 1-0 Cards halfway through five.

Pirates have now scored 2 runs in the past 23 innings.

Skenes 7 innings on just 78 pitches.

Seems about right.

Bucs get the leadoff hitter on in the 6th and 7th but come up empty. This is another example of how two hitters are desperately needed.

Skenes with eight innings pitched, two hits, one run. His mates can still win him a game with a couple of runs.

Come on offense, you can't saddle your star with a loss after that effort tonight.
