Seattle Mariners All-Star Logan Gilbert is set to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie phenom Paul Skenes on Friday.
The Seattle Mariners are coming off one of their most disappointing series losses of the season after getting swept by the Detroit Tigers in the first leg of a nine-game road trip.
The Pirates are in the middle of their own struggles and have dropped 10 straight games. That losing streak dropped the once-playoff hopefuls to 7.5 games behind for the final National League Wild Card spot and to last place in the NL Central — 13.5 games behind the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. Friday will be one of the best pitching matchups of the season when Pittsburgh rookie and 2024 All-Star starter Paul Skenes goes against Seattle starter Logan Gilbert.
He has a 2.25 ERA this season in 15 starts with 115 strikeouts in 92 innings pitched. He's had two games this season where he's fanned 11 batters.On the other end — Gilbert has a 2.97 ERA this season in 24 starts with 149 strikeouts in 154.2 innings pitched. Gilbert is tied with Baltimore Orioles starter Corbin Burnes for the most quality starts in the league with 19.
