Overview

• Paul Skenes and Henry Davis formed the first pitcher/catcher duo in MLB history composed of players drafted first overall.
• Skenes delivered a strong six-inning performance, allowing two runs (one earned) and striking out six to secure his second win of the season.
• Henry Davis, stepping in after Endy Rodriguez sustained a finger injury, contributed with a single and effective game-calling behind the plate.
• The Pirates' 10-3 win against the Nationals marked a rare offensive surge, with contributions from Oneil Cruz, Enmanuel Valdez, and Ke'Bryan Hayes.
• Endy Rodriguez required stitches for a laceration caused by a deflected pitch, potentially opening an opportunity for Davis to gain more starts.
