Pirates' Skenes pitches well, but loses games

Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has made MLB history, becoming the only pitcher with a losing record despite a sub-2.10 ERA and over 80 strikeouts in his first 13 starts. Skenes' impressive 1.88 ERA and 92 strikeouts are overshadowed by a 4-6 record due to a lack of run support from the Pittsburgh Pirates. His recent outing saw him pitch 7 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts, yet he didn't get the win. This unfortunate record highlights the impact of team performance on individual pitcher statistics, even as Skenes continues to deliver dominant performances on the mound.
