The Mariners conclude their homestand on Sunday against the Pirates with a premier pitching matchup featuring two of baseball’s best young right-handers.

In a pitching matchup that lived up to the hype, George Kirby outlasted Paul Skenes to combine on the Mariners’ third consecutive shutout of the Pirates on Sunday.

Kirby bested Skenes over the early part of the game, with five punchouts and eight whiffs through the first two innings, to Skenes’s four Ks and nine whiffs.
