Episode Notes

Paul Skenes set the tone early, the Pirates scratched through in the middle innings, and then absolutely blew this one open late. Nate and DiNardo break down a 7-1 win over the Padres, including Skenes mowing through San Diego, Oneil Cruz delivering the big two-run double that got the scoring started, and the eighth-inning burst that put the game away behind big knocks from Nick Gonzales, Jake Mangum, and Konnor Griffin.
