By his standards, Pittsburgh Pirates ace pitcher Paul Skenes was vulnerable against the Cincinnati Reds, but Skenes has a pretty high standard.

Paul Skenes struck out eight in six shutout innings, Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds 7-0.

Jack Suwinski will play in left field and bat sixth vs. the Reds, coming in for Tommy Pham, who started the last four games in the position. This is Suwinski's ninth start in left field and first since the series finale vs. the Giants at Oracle Park on July 30.
