PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star right-handed starting pitcher Paul Skenes has had some special trading cards since his MLB debut and will have another one, which is a collaboration with a famous painter. Topps announced that they partnered with the estate of Bob Ross, creating a collection known as "The Joy of Baseball."

Paul Skenes wants the ball. All the time. Yet the only pitcher in major league history to start the All-Star Game in each of his first two seasons also understands the Pittsburgh Pirates are intent on playing the long game with his electric right arm.

The Pirates defeated the Detroit Tigers 3-0 at PNC Park. Paul Skenes (5-8) lowered his ERA to 1.91 with six scoreless innings
