Paul Skenes Sets Career Whiff Record but the Marlins Beat the Pirates Anyway (opens in new tab)

Paul Skenes set a career high with 23 swinging strikes and struck out 10 at PNC Park, the kind of line that usually ends in a win. Instead the reigning NL Cy Young winner took the loss, beaten by two second-inning home runs as the Marlins held on 4-2 and Max Meyer improved to 7-0.
