PITTSBURGH — Paul Skenes threw seven strong innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates tied a franchise record by smashing seven home runs in a 14-2 demolition of the New York Mets. Bryan Reynolds homered from both sides of the plate, including a grand slam, and Rowdy Tellez had a grand slam among his two homers. They became the first teammates in major league history to each hit multiple homers including a grand slam in the same game. The 22-year-old Skenes allowed two runs on four hits with a walk and eight strikeouts while his ERA ticked up slightly to 2.12.
