Paul Skenes' Near No-Hitter Against the Brewers | Rookie All-Star finishes 1st half with 1.90 ERA

Paul Skenes, who has never thrown a no-hitter in his career, came close on Thursday night against the Brewers, pitching seven hitless innings and matching a career-high 11 strikeouts. Despite his stellar performance, Skenes was pulled after 99 pitches, which led to his team's 1-0 victory. Manager Derek Shelton explained that the decision was not based on pitch count but on observing that Skenes was fatigued, despite seeming to get stronger as the game progressed.
Skenes' seven-inning performance lowered his ERA to 1.90 and brought his total to 89 strikeouts through 11 starts, making him the fifth pitcher with the most strikeouts in this span in MLB history since 1901. At 22, he is set to appear in the All-Star Game and is being compared to legendary pitcher Nolan Ryan for his multiple starts with six or more hitless innings and 11 or more strikeouts in a single season. The video invites viewers to share their thoughts on whether Skenes should have been allowed to continue pitching.
