The Pirates are sticking to their plan as Paul Skenes dominates at Triple-A

The Pittsburgh Pirates are taking a slow and steady approach with prized pitching prospect Paul Skenes.

Pirates' top pitching prospect Paul Skenes saw his scoreless innings streak come to an end at 14 1/3 frames when he allowed his first runs of the season in the bottom of the second and fourth innings on Wednesday. He still struck out seven batters and threw a season-high 71 pitches in 4 ⅓ innings of work.
