Paul Skenes will look to continue his recent run of dominance when the Pirates face the Cardinals on Thursday afternoon.

In his last outing, Skenes took a perfect game into the seventh inning before the Brewers' Jake Bauers smacked a single to center field. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner exited the game after allowing just that one hit and striking out seven batters.

Since a rough performance on Opening Day, Skenes' numbers have been stellar. In his last five starts, he has a 0.95 ERA across 28 1/3 innings with 29 strikeouts and five walks. Can he shut down the Cardinals in the final game of the NL Central series?

Here is everything you need to know about Skenes' next start, including TV and streaming options for Pirates vs. Cardinals.
