After all, Skubal is one of the best pitchers in the league and is coming off back-to-back American League Cy Young awards. He finished the 2025 campaign with a 2.21 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 241 strikeouts in 195.1 innings of work.

Paul Skenes continues to mow down Team Mexico. He records his fourth and fifth strikeouts of the game to start the inning, before Mexico gets their first baserunner on an error. A sharp single to right field appears to spell trouble, but Aaron Judge fields it cleanly and guns down the runner heading to third base. Team USA remains tied with Mexico.
