Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes will make his next start this week in the upcoming series. Skenes will pitch the finale of the series vs. the Chicago Cubs on May 1 at PNC Park, with first pitch set for 12:35 p.

The 2025 Los Angeles Dodgers may feature the best lineup of all-time. Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes clearly doesn't care, though. On Friday night, Skenes turned in 6.1 innings of shutout baseball in Los Angeles while striking out nine Dodgers.

Pirates fans have gotten fed up with owner Bob Nutting’s unwillingness to spend on players. Paul Skenes hears them, and he sees the positives in their frustration as he tries to lead a culture change for a club that has missed the playoffs the past nine years.
