Skins was in danger in the bottom of the second inning. He struck out Willy Adames, caught Salprelik with a fly ball to center field, and sent out Jake Bowers with a pitch that hit his body. He allowed Garrett Mitchell to walk to the first and second bases, but he overcame the crisis by striking out Andrew Monasterio.
Since then, he has regained stability. He struck out Blake Perkins, Turang and Contreras in the bottom of the third inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he grounded out Yelich to the second base and struck out Adames and Frelik.
He did not allow the Milwaukee Brewers to get on base afterwards. He struck out Bowers in the bottom of the fifth inning, grounded out Mitchell to the second base, and caught Monasterio to the left field. In the sixth inning, he struck out Perkins, grounded out to the first base, and grounded out to the third base, Contreras.
The 0 balance was broken in the top of the seventh inning. With runners on first and one out, Yasmani Grandal hit an RBI double.
Since then, Skins, who kept the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning, caught Yelich with a ground ball to the second base, hit Adames with a fly ball to the second base, and hit Frelik with a ground ball to the third base before coming down from the mound.
Colin Holderman took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning and Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the ninth inning to keep the lead. It was Pittsburgh's 1-0 victory. Skins has won six games (unbeaten) this season.
According to the Major League's official website MLB.com , Skins said after the game, "In a game leading 1-0, you can tie the game with just one swing. It's really easy not to think about No-Hitter," adding, "It doesn't matter until the end of the game. It's just important to catch an out."
Skins, who was drafted by Pittsburgh as the first overall pick in the first round of the 2023 draft, made his big league debut this season. He started 11 games and posted an impressive record of 1.90 ERA with 89 strikeouts in six wins and 66 ⅓ innings.
"If he had paused thinking, he might have noticed that he was making history," MLBcom's statement said. "Skin has had at least seven strikeouts in eight consecutive starts. This is the longest streak among Pittsburgh pitchers."
"In his two starts, he had no hits in more than six innings and is the second pitcher to record more than 11 strikeouts," he said. "The only player who achieved this in a single season is amazing Ryan. Ryan had no hit or run twice in 1973.
Ryan is a legend who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. He played for the New York Mets, California Angels (now the Los Angeles Angels), Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers, and pitched in 807 games (773 starts), recording 324 wins, 292 losses, three saves, 5386 innings with 5714 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.19.
