Livvy Dunne Hypes Paul Skenes' 7 No-Hit Innings for Pirates vs. Brewers: 'Slay'

LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne was excited for her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates starter Paul Skenes, after his impressive outing on Thursday.

"Slay," Dunne wrote on her Instagram story over Skenes' numbers during a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The 22-year-old was dominant against the Brewers, racking up 11 strikeouts compared to just one walk over seven innings. Skenes didn't allow a hit, although he was pulled from the game before the bottom of the eighth inning after throwing 99 pitches.

Pittsburgh's bullpen allowed a pair of singles to break up the team's no-hit bid, but the rookie still wrapped up an incredible performance. Through his first 11 career starts, Skenes is now 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA. He's averaging 12.08 strikeouts per nine innings and has allowed a mere 13 total walks.

Skenes' hot start to his career has already put him in the history books, as he became the first player to make an All-Star team after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the prior draft (h/t Bob Nightengale of USA Today). Dunne celebrated with her boyfriend after finding out about the achievement.

The right-hander's stellar rookie season has helped the Pirates remain competitive in the National League playoff race, moving to 45-48 after Thursday's win. Pittsburgh currently sits 2.5 games back of the final wild-card spot.
