Paul Skenes struck out seven over four-plus innings in his major league debut and Yasmani Grandal hit a go-ahead three-run homer as the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Chicago Cubs 10-9 on Saturday. Skenes, the top overall pick in the 2023 draft, showed flashes of why he is considered perhaps the best pitching prospect in a generation. The 21-year-old — who was greeted by a standing ovation by most of the near-capacity crowd, including girlfriend Livvy Dunne — reached 100 mph on 17 of his 84 pitches.
Jared Jones pitched seven dominant innings and Jack Suwinski lined a pinch-hit, walk-off single to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 1-0 win over the visiting Colorado Rockies on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Connor Joe led off the ninth inning for Pittsburgh with a 1-2 single off Rockies reliever Nick Mears (0-3).

David Bednar pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in five chances, and Henry Davis doubled, singled and drove in two runs. Bryan Reynolds and Connor Joe also had RBIs for the Pirates, who took advantage of some sloppy play by Philadelphia. "Overall, we played a really clean game," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. Harper singled in the first and doubled in the sixth
