Skenes got through the first four innings without allowing any runs and only one base hit despite the Cubs hitting several balls hard off him and drawing four walks. That changed drastically in the fifth inning.
Dansby Swanson led off the frame with his sixth homer of the season, jumping on a splitter that hung high in the middle of the strike zone. Despite that, Cubs batting coach Dustin Kelly was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire about Skenes getting several strike calls on pitches off the plate.
