Paul Skenes’ Historic Homer Barrage Overshadowed in Shocking Pirates Defeat to Cubs
Following Nicky Lopez grounding out and an Ian Happ strikeout, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki slugged back-to-back home runs, resulting in the most homers Skenes had given up in a game during his short career. Tucker launched a fastball out over the plate into the center-field seats, while Suzuki made Skenes pay for leaving another splitter up high in the middle of the strike zone.

Despite not scoring any runs early on, Cubs manager Craig Counsell was encouraged by the walks his batters drew.
