 Here's what you need to know. Major League Baseball, the day after the 4th of July, saw plenty of fireworks. In fact, they actually ran out of them in Pittsburgh. The Pirates with seven home runs as they demolished the Mets 14-2. Paul Skeens, though, on the mound, didn't need much. He only allowed two runs in seven innings and had eight strikeouts as he improves his record on his sensational rookie season to 5-0, and his ERA sits at 2.12.
