Paul Skenes - Olivia Dunne's boyfriend - has allowed his first ever home run in a pro baseball game while pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates' Triple-A affiliate.
Skenes, 21, gave up a solo home run to Buffalo outfielder Will Robertson - a Toronto Blue Jays prospect - in the fifth inning of an 8-3 win for the Indianapolis Indians on Sunday against the Bisons.
Skenes had pitched 33 2/3 innings in the minor leagues over the last two seasons before conceding his first long ball.
But the first overall pick of the 2023 MLB Draft didn't let things get to his head, as he got one more hitter out on Sunday before leaving after 4 1/3 innings, having allowed two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 66 pitches.
