Pirates: Paul Skenes isn’t exactly sure what the Pirates’ record is, only that it’s not good. The Pirates’ young ace and reigning National League Rookie of the Year understands the frustrations that resuted in boos and chants of “Sell the team” directed at increasingly popular targets manager Derek Shelton and owner Bob Nutting during a 9-4 loss to the Yankees on Friday, Skenes believes the angst should be directed elsewhere. “Mr. Nutting and Shelty aren’t the ones playing,” Skenes said on Saturday. “We’re the ones playing. If we were 8-0 through however many games we’ve played right now, the fans aren’t booing. We’ve got to play better.” With the Pirates 2-6, the 22-year-old Skenes has been one of the few bright spots during a dismal opening 10 dayss. The right-hander has been brilliant during his two starts, allowing two earned runs on six hits with 13 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings.

Cubs: Ian Happ played in his 1,000th major league game on Saturday — all with the Cubs. It’s that last part that makes it special for the outfielder. “I think the one thing that means a lot about it is is doing it all here,” Happ said. “I think that’s the thing that means a ton.” It’s a rare accomplishment, too. Happ became the eighth active player with 1,000 games with one team, according to the Elias Soorts Bureau, joining a group that includes Aaron Judge, Mike Trout and José Ramírez. He is the 21st player to appear in at least his first 1,000 games with the Cubs, according to the team. Happ, Mark Grace and Shawon Dunston are the only players drafted by the Cubs to play in 1,000 games with the franchise.

Diamondbacks: Second basemen Ketel Marte was put on the 10-day injured list Saturday, a day after leaving the Diamondbacks’ 6-4 victory over the Nationals in the first inning with a strained left hamstring sustained while running the bases.

White Sox: Kerry Carpenter homered for the third time in two games and Spencer Torkelson had a home run and a double Saturday as the Tigers beat the White Sox 7-2 for their fourth win in five games following an opening three-game losing streak.

Red Sox: Kristian Campbell had just finished his news conference Saturday afternoon when he was getting ready to join a group photo with his parents and Red Sox ownership. He was standing between his mom and dad when his mother, Tonya, reached forward and adjusted the 22-year-old rookie’s sport jacket before the group looked at the photographer. His bigger life-altering moment came earlier this week. On Wednesday, he agreed to a $60 million, eight-year contract, less than a week after his major league debut. “It was a life-changing opportunity for me and my family,” Campbell said before the team’s scheduled game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Fenway Park on Saturday. “It was something I couldn’t pass up.”
