In a standout performance on Tuesday night, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes came close to a no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies, only to have it broken up in the seventh inning by Mickey Moniak's single. Skenes dominated the game, striking out 10 batters and walking none, while only allowing three Rockies to reach the outfield prior to Moniak's hit. He faced a total of 19 batters, retiring them efficiently with 62 of his 89 pitches thrown for strikes. The only mistake he made was hitting Troy Johnston in the fifth inning, who was then caught trying to steal second base. The Pirates ultimately won the game 3-1, marking a significant achievement for Skenes, who is the only pitcher this season with multiple no-hit bids of at least six innings. The last no-hitter for the Pirates occurred on July 12, 1997, when Francisco Córdova and Ricardo Rincón combined for the feat.
