Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes took the mound Tuesday night against the Miami Marlins.
However, the outing went nowhere near as planned and ended in an extremely unusual way for the three-time All-Star.
Skenes pitched five innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs before Pittsburgh pulled him after just 65 pitches. He also never topped 97 mph, with his fastest pitch reaching just 96.5 mph.
