Paul Skenes tops 200 strikeouts as Pirates manage his workload

September 10, 2025

After surpassing 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career, Pirates ace Paul Skenes admitted it was good to get a breather. The NL Cy Young front-runner reached 203, fanning eight Orioles batters in Pittsburgh’s 2-1, 10-inning loss to Baltimore on Wednesday night. It might’ve been more had manager Don Kelly not removed the overpowering right-hander after a season-low 64 pitches with an eye toward managing his workload at the back end of his first full season in the majors. Skenes worked five scoreless, two-hit frames in his 30th outing. He as a majors-best 1.92 ERA over 178 innings after combining for 160 1/3 last season between the Pirates and Triple-A Indianapolis.

Skenes surpasses 200 strikeouts for the Pirates in a 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Orioles

September 10, 2025

Paul Skenes struck out eight in five two-hit innings to surpass 200 strikeouts before leaving after a season-low 64 pitches in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night. The 23-year-old Skenes has a majors-best 1.92 ERA over 178 innings in his first full season, and could make as many as three more starts. He pushed the strikeout total to 203, getting Samuel Basallo looking and Dylan Carlson swinging to complete the fifth. Rookie Dylan Beavers hit a winning single — his first walk-off hit — off Kyle Nicolas (1-1) to give Baltimore its seventh victory in eight games. Jackson Holliday pulled the Orioles even in the eighth with a single off Isaac Mattson. Spencer Horwitz homered for Pittsburgh.

Orioles trade reliever Bryan Baker to Rays for 37th pick in draft

July 10, 2025

The Baltimore Orioles have traded right-handed reliever Bryan Baker to AL East rival Tampa Bay in exchange for the 37th overall pick in the 2025 MLB amateur draft, a sign that one of baseball’s most disappointing clubs could be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. Orioles GM Mike Elias wouldn’t completely commit to that idea speaking to media before Thursday’s doubleheader against the New Yor Mets, citing the 2024 Detroit Tigers, who traded players off their major league roster, then surged into a playoff spot. But he acknowledged the possibility on a day that began with last-place Baltimore (40-50) sitting 12 1/2 games behind division-leading Toronto and seven out of the final AL wild card spot.
