Skenes pitches with poise through pressure in WBC spotlight, treats it same as Pirates outings‎

Paul Skenes pitched with poise through pressure, dispatching a series of stars on a night of great stakes in a sold-out stadium with millions watching on TV. This was the type of game he never sees with the Pittsburgh Pirates and he may not experience on a regular basis until 2030. Skenes dominated the Dominican Republic's lineup of All-Stars for 4 1/3 innings in the America's 2-1 semifinal victory Sunday night, allowing his only run when Junior Caminero hit a go-ahead home run in the second on a 1-2 sweeper at the top of the strike zone.
