Paul Skenes struggled through five innings in Milwaukee, walking four and again looking unlike the pitcher who dominated in 2024 and 2025. Alex Stumpf breaks down the drop in fastball life, inconsistent breaking pitches, disappearing splinker and changeup, and the mechanical concerns behind a 5.20 ERA over Skenes’ last 15 starts.
With the Pirates now two games under .500, can they make a playoff push if their ace cannot rediscover his Cy Young form?
