A change in catchers didn’t change Paul Skenes’ fortunes Wednesday night for the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the first time in his past 52 starts, Skenes didn’t have Henry Davis stationed behind the plate. The switch to Endy Rodriguez paid off early, but a rough fourth inning saddled Skenes and the Pirates with a 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The Pirates are 3-12 in Skenes’ past 15 starts since mid-May. It was the first time since April 2025 that Davis wasn’t behind the plate for a Skenes start.
