Las Vegas - Every one knows the story of SUPER rookie Paul Skenes. Right? Okay, if you don't, lemme throw some numbers at you. Since being called up to the big club in May, Skenes has started 11 games. He has NOT lost (6-0). He has allowed only 14 earned runs over 66 innings for a skinny 1.90 ERA. And his Ks have a life of their own. In those 66 innings, Skenes has posted 89 Ks. And he seems to be getting stronger. Since an average outing against the Dodgers back in early June (5 innings, 3 earned runs), Paul has been MONEY. His last six starts have been NUTZ. We're talking about 5 earned runs over 39 innings for a 1.15 ERA. And oh yea, those Ks. How about 51 whiffs over 39 frames. Bank of Benj is wide open for the KID.
