It was an easy day of work for Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates. His task was to keep the Colorado Rockies offense down, and that's exactly what he did.
Skenes picks up career win No. 19
Skenes tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and no runs in the win. The youngster struck out seven batters and did not walk anyone. Pittsburgh went on to win the game 4-0 over Colorado.
