George Springer homered on Skenes’ third pitch, and Livvy Dunne was seen mouthing an expletive twice from the stands at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
Toronto kept piling on against the Pirates ace, tagging Skenes for four runs on nine hits over five innings in a 5-2 win; he threw 98 pitches and struck out two.
Skenes said he needed to get ahead in counts and execute better, calling the outing a mix of good and bad.
Two straight rough starts have made this one of the worst stretches of Skenes’ career after Philadelphia scored five runs off him in five innings last week.
Despite the skid, Skenes owns a 3.00 ERA with 65 strikeouts through 11 starts, while Pittsburgh sits at 26-26.
