Brewers hammer Paul Skenes, Pirates as win streak reaches 11

MILWAUKEE -- Paul Skenes is one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball this season. Not even he could slow down the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' ace right-hander became Milwaukee's latest victim after giving up the first two of five home runs Tuesday night in a 14-0 rout that extended the Brewers' winning streak to 11.

"They're hot right now," said Skenes, who before Sal Frelick's leadoff home run had not given up a first-inning run in 24 starts this season, the second-longest streak to begin a season in MLB history.
