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 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates may have hit rock bottom when they were swept by the Chicago White Sox in three consecutive games, getting outscored by a 27-7 margin.

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.”

Oneil Cruz crushed two home runs in the Pittsburgh Pirates' win over the New York Mets on Sunday, bringing him to 15 homers and 27 stolen bases through only three months of action.
