Paul Skenes struck out eleven Cubs in 5.1 innings and left trailing 5-0, which is not a sentence that should be possible and is exactly what happened. He threw 105 pitches. The Cubs scored five off him — Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled to start the fifth-inning rally, and Seiya Suzuki followed with a two-run single — and then six more off the bullpen. Crow-Armstrong homered in the seventh, his 23rd, a two-run shot to right. Shota Imanaga gave four hits in six innings and Javier Assad needed thirty-two pitches to finish the last three. Skenes did everything the Pirates asked and the lineup gave him nothing, and the bullpen gave him less. That is the shape of a long night for a pitcher who did not deserve one.
