Paul Skenes, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, had a remarkable performance against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, pitching seven hitless innings before being replaced.
Despite the potential for a no-hitter, Skenes understood the Pirates' decision to pull him given the close score and the presence of strong relievers in the bullpen.
Skenes expressed confidence in his relievers, Colin Holderman and Aroldis Chapman, to finish the game successfully.
The Pirates, leading 1-0, ultimately won the game with Holderman pitching the eighth inning and Chapman securing the save in the ninth.
