PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Paul Skenes will take on the Seattle Mariners in the series finale at T-Mobile Park. Skenes will take the mound for the 19th time this season for the Pirates and is his first start at T-Mobile Park.

Skenes told reporters that he went out to talk with the crew because he was bored and added that he might have been researching his next career, telling the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Noah Hiles he would love to cut grass when his baseball career is over.

The Pittsburgh Pirates improved their record to 38-50 on the season with a 5-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday as manager Don Kelly's pitching staff recorded its third straight shutout victory.
