Pirates ace Paul Skenes will look to bounce back after a rough start when he takes the mound for Wednesday night’s matchup against the Diamondbacks.
Skenes struggled against the Cardinals on Thursday, suffering just his second loss of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old had nine strikeouts in five innings, but St. Louis totaled seven hits and five runs (three earned) before Skenes left the game.
Now, Pittsburgh is hoping that Skenes will lead the team to victory after the Pirates dropped the series opener, 9-0, on Tuesday.
Here is everything you need to know about Skenes’ next start, including TV and streaming options for Pirates vs. Diamondbacks.
