Paul Skenes joins select company by throwing six or more no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts as a rookie, alongside Nolan Ryan.
There have been baseball rumors about whether the Buccos will spend to become better and contend. Word to the wise for the Pittsburgh brass: open your bankbooks because if you don’t, Skenes could draw all sorts of attention when he eventually reaches free agency.

Twitter has simplified how great a start the former LSU star is having. He is 6-0 after the seven-inning masterpiece against Milwaukee. There was no margin for error as the Pirates scored the game’s lone run in the seventh inning.
Want to watch how history warms up? Skenes will be with the National League All-Stars at Globe Life Field in Texas on Tuesday for the annual All-Star Game. He should start. The Pirates have to hope it isn’t just another early audition for the rest of baseball. They have time … the righty won’t reach free agency until 2030.
