Skenes, who is enjoying a dominant start to his MLB career, also shared a photo from the outing on his Instagram Story that featured Dunne fishing.

Dunne was in town for the weekend to cheer on her boyfriend and the Pirates in their series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Pirates dropped the series opener to the Rays on Friday, 10-3, but rebounded on Saturday with a 4-3 victory.

The rookie pitcher made his eighth start for the Pirates on Sunday, with Dunne — decked out in Pirates gear — cheering him on from the stands at PNC Park.

Although he started Sunday’s game by giving up a lead-off homer to the Rays’ Yandy Diaz on his very first pitch, Skenes ultimately had one of the most impressive performances of his young career.

Skenes recorded eight strikeouts in seven innings while allowing six hits, one run and one walk.

On his 98th and final pitch of the game, Skenes threw a 101.5 MPH heater by Rays catcher Alex Jackson before walking off the mound with a big smile on his face.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Jackson, Paul Skenes is for real! 102 on his final pitch of the day!” Pittsburgh broadcaster Joe Block exclaimed.

Despite another stellar performance from Skenes, the Pirates lost to the Rays on Sunday, 3-1.

Since his call-up to the big leagues in May, Skenes — the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft — has recorded 61 strikeouts in 46.1 innings pitched.

Skenes confirmed his relationship with Dunne last summer.
