CHICAGO -- Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes already is making history just two starts into his first major league season.
On Friday, the rookie struck out the first seven Chicago Cubs hitters he faced during an electric outing at Wrigley Field, his first big league appearance on the road.
Skenes, 21, retired the first 13 batters overall before walking first baseman Michael Busch in the fifth inning. Busch was the only baserunner to reach off Skenes, who pitched six innings without giving up a hit on 100 pitches.
