What Exactly Happened to Paul Skenes on MLB Opening Day?

Paul Skenes is a man of few words on the baseball diamond. He is vigilant with his pitches and most of all stands up the highest composure out of any MLB pitcher.

On 2026 MLB Opening Day, nothing but a farce happened against the New York Mets. Yes, it was at Citi Field, but even worse.

People saw Skenes touch significant career records. He ultimately allow five runs and 4 hits in 0.2 innings. He was removed from the quickest game of his career after only two outs and Mets fans could visibly see players such as Brett Baty become courageous rounding first.

And, then a Mets rookie Carson Benge hit a home run to right. It was the worst game in Skenes’ young professional career and he has a lot to make up for it this year with especially new additions such as Ryan O’Hearn, Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Bubba Chandler.
