Paul Skenes threw 100 pitches in four innings. He struck out seven and walked four, and left with the score 5-4 Pittsburgh — which tells you what kind of night it was, and what 100 pitches in four frames costs a young arm even when the strikeout stuff is there. Hunter Greene matched the chaos with six innings of four-run ball, and then both bullpens traded runs in the eighth until Emilio Pagán kept the Reds in front. Wilber Dotel took the loss: three hits, three runs, a third of an inning. Nobody who pitched in the eighth escaped clean.
