The Pittsburgh Pirates could only muster up one hit in 11 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, leading to a line score never seen before in MLB history.

The Detroit Tigers have had a historic season so far, but they would love to soon forget the history they just made in Pittsburgh. The Pirates’ roster is built to record a stat like this. No team has hit Paul Skenes and being victim to Oneil Cruz’s insane athleticism can happen any night.

The team wrote, “Paul Skenes has reached 300 career strikeouts in only his 43rd career start. He is the first Pirates pitcher and one of only 17 Major League pitchers all-time to record at least 300 strikeouts in his first 43 big-league starts.”

Unfortunately for two-time All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes, he’s likely stuck with the Pittsburgh Pirates even if he wanted a trade ahead of the July 31 deadline.
