Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is scheduled to take the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday evening in Arizona. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. The right-hander looks to rebound from his most recent outing.
Skenes allowed five runs, four earned, on eight hits in his last start last Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. He surrendered two home runs in the first inning but struck out a season-high nine batters in the 10-5 loss. The Pirates right-hander said afterward that his command was not at its best, particularly early in the game.
