The Cincinnati Reds didn't stand a chance against Paul Skenes on Thursday night. But the Reds aren't alone. Skenes has dominated Major League Baseball since getting the call up in May of 2024, and his latest outing is one of many that leaves his opponents wondering what in the world they just saw.
The former LSU Tiger tossed six shutout innings while collecting eight strikeouts without issuing a walk on Thursday. The dominant outing lowered his ERA on the season to a measly 1.94, which is an MLB-best. It was another sensational performance for Skenes, who continues to amaze when he is on the mound every five days.
