Paul Skenes earns first win since July as Pirates defeat Angels 1-0

Paul Skenes pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings to snap a seven-start winless drought in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Henry Davis provided the game's lone run with a solo home run down the left-field line in the third inning off Angels rookie Walbert Urena. Urena delivered the first complete game of his career, allowing three hits and one run while striking out four. Skenes scattered four hits and struck out two before a bullpen committee of Gregory Soto, Carmen Mlodzinski, Camilo Doval, and Mason Montgomery secured the final outs. The win secured a series victory for the Pirates, their fourth consecutive series win, while the Angels have dropped 11 of their last 13 games. The Pirates are scheduled to face the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, while the Angels travel to Boston for a series against the Red Sox starting Monday.
