He gave up 3 earned runs and struck out 7. The bullpen gave up 8 runs. They are atrocious. There was plenty of run support too. That wasn’t on Skenes.

The loss isn't on him but he threw over 100 pitches and couldn't get out of the 5th. That's not a good start for anyone let alone Skenes. He just wasn't on yesterday. He battled and gave his team a chance. I'm fairly certain he'd agree that yesterday was very good for him.
The pen is garbage and lost the game but we need 6+ from our starters.
No he wasn’t but he had enough run support to get the W. Ramirez, Montgomery and Soto stank.
