The Pirates swept the Phillies for the first time since June 12-14, 2015. The Phillies lost their fifth straight as Alec Bohm hit into a double play to end it.

Paul Skenes is in a routine. The 23-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates ace worked 7 2/3 innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, giving up one unearned run on two hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. Skenes remained 4-6 in his sophomore season despite lowering his ERA to 1.

Right-handed star pitcher Paul Skenes dominated once again for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who defeated the Philadelphia Phillies at PNC Park, 2-1. The Pirates clinch their first sweep of the season, as they also beat the Phillies 5-4 on walk-off on June 6 and 2-1 on June 7.
