The Pirates beat San Diego 1-0 on an Oneil Cruz home run off Mason Miller. It was a good feel-good win, but it is filled with regret for what this season has been. Paul Skenes looked like Paul Skenes again. It was Skenes' first scoreless outing since May 12th and he even threw 99 mph. Matt Clement thinks Skenes' throwing motion was more north to south. Teams in front of the Pirates are starting to lose. How can Pittsburgh catch the Padres?
