Paul Skenes’ girlfriend Olivia Dunne teases Pirates vs. Mets vlog ft. key highlights
Olivia Dunne, the girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, has been showing her unwavering support for the All-Star pitcher by attending his games and cheering him on from the stands. Despite enjoying a summer of travel and relaxation after retiring from gymnastics earlier this year, Dunne has made it a priority to be present at Skenes’ starts for the National League Central team.
Most recently, Dunne was spotted at PNC Park during Skenes’ last start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the reigning World Series champions. Following the Pirates’ victory in the series finale, Dunne took to social media to share pictures from the game and tease an upcoming vlog of Pittsburgh’s game against the New York Mets from May.
In the teaser of the vlog, Dunne can be seen heading to the ballpark, meeting friends, and passionately supporting Skenes during his start. Despite the Pirates falling short to the Mets in that particular game, Skenes put on an impressive performance, pitching six innings, allowing only one run, and striking out six batters.
Skenes continued his dominant form in his most recent start against the Dodgers, pitching six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts. This stellar performance lowered his season ERA to 1.98, the best in the MLB this season. Following the game, Dunne shared a graphic from MLB on her Instagram story, applauding Skenes for his outstanding outing.
The Pirates went on to defeat the Dodgers 5-3, completing a series sweep and improving Skenes’ record to 10-9. This victory marked the first time this season that Skenes’ win-loss record was above .500, further solidifying his case for a potential Cy Young award.
As Dunne continues to support Skenes in his baseball journey, fans can expect to see more of her enthusiastic presence at Pirates games in the future. Her unwavering support and genuine passion for the game make her a true standout in the stands, cheering on her ace pitcher with pride and enthusiasm.
