PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings for his first win since July 19 and Henry Davis hit a home run to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Sunday.

Skenes (10-11) gave up four hits, struck out two and walked one. The 2025 NL Cy Young Award winner had gone seven consecutive outings without a win since beating Cleveland in his first start after the All-Star break.

Gregory Soto, Carmen Mlodzinski, Camilo Doval and Mason Montgomery finished the five-hitter. Montgomery earned his 10th save.

It marked the first time Skenes faced the Angels, the team he grew up rooting for in Orange County.

Davis pulled a home run down the left-field line in the third inning, his ninth of the season, off Walbert Urena (9-10), who was a tough-luck loser while pitching his first career complete game and the Angels’ first of the season.

Urena, a rookie, allowed only one run and three hits with four strikeouts and one walk in eight innings. Brandon Lowe had two of the hits.

Skenes also got a big play from the Pirates’ defense in the fifth inning when Zach Neto was thrown out trying to score the tying run from first base on Mike Trout’s two-out double. Second baseman Lowe’s relay throw from center fielder Oneil Cruz cut down Neto.

The Pirates took two of three games from the Angels to win four straight series for the first time since 2024. The Halos lost for 11th time in 13 games.

Angels: RHP Grayson Rodriguez (4-6, 6.03 ERA) starts against the Red Sox on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series in Boston.

Veteran Beaver County Radio Personality Mike Romigh Passes Away

(Brighton Twp., Beaver County, Pa.) The voice of most recently “Live Mic” on Beaver County Radio has gone silent. Word was received early Sunday morning from Mike Romigh’s family that he had passed away on Saturday night after a long battle with a blood disorder.

In September of 2025, Mike stepped away from hosting “Live Mic” due to his health issues.

Beaver County Radio General Manager Frank Sparks said “We are absolutely  devastated to hear about Mike’s passing. He was such an inspiration to us all and a key part of the resurgence of Beaver County Radio over the last few years” Sparks went on to say that “Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Romigh Family at this devastating time.”

Mike returned to Beaver County Radio in early 2022 to host “Live Mic” weekdays from 6:30 AM  to 9AM. Mike then stepped away in August of 2024 to spend more time with his family and enjoy retirement. At that time Mike continued to host the Best Of Beaver County on Thursday mornings. When the stations returned to a simulcast format in early 2025 Mike came back and hosted “Live Mic” once again from 10 AM To Noon on weekdays. Mike then stepped away in September of 2025 due to his ongoing health issues.

Mike grew up in Beaver Falls and currently resided in the borough of Koppel. After working at Hydril in Rochester for four years after graduating from high school, Romigh felt those radio waves, that he dreamed about as a youngster, calling him again, so he enrolled in a correspondence course offered by the Columbia School Of Broadcasting in Pittsburgh.  After completing the training, Romigh landed his first radio job at WFEM in Ellwood City. in 1981.

He wouldn’t stay in Ellwood City long.  That same year, Mike was hired by WBVP and WWKS, Kiss 106.7 FM.   Initially, Romigh hosted an overnight music show on both radio stations.  WBVP was a live radio program, and WWKS featured the recorded voice. His big break came in 1983, when Dave Felts, who was hosting the morning talk show, “A.M. Connection” on WBVP went on Vacation.  The temporary fill in duty went so well, that Romigh was asked to do the entire week. Soon, Romigh was a regular host of “A.M. Connection” at WBVP.

After leaving WBVP and WWKS in 1985, Romigh took his talents  to WMBA and hosted a talk show initially called “Straight Talk”, later to be renamed “Live Mike”.

Around 1987, Mike Romigh was hired by KDKA  to do Weekends and part time fill in work.  For a while, Romigh worked at Both WMBA and KDKA, but in 1990,  He began to work on a regular basis at KDKA and had to drop WMBA from his hectic schedule.  Romigh became the regular host of the evening shift at KDKA for about 10 years and afterwards, crossed state lines and hosted the morning show on top rated Youngstown radio station, WKBN, in 2008. Romigh’s career came full circle when he returned to WBVP and WMBA, again from 2014 to 2017.  He brought back the popular “Teleforum” talk show name, and served as Program Director. In early 2017 Mike left Beaver County Radio and went to work fundraising for the Beaver County Humane Society. Mike attempted to retire in 2020 but that only last for a short time as he worked part-time for the Humane Society Thrift Store. In late 2022 new Beaver County Radio General Manager, Frank Sparks, approached Mike about returning to the airwaves to host a daily show. In January 2022 “Live Mic” returned to the Beaver County Airwaves.

No Funeral arrangements have yet been announced for Mike at this time. We will inform everyone once that information becomes public.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Yusei Kikuchi pitched six scoreless innings and earned his first win of the season as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Saturday night.

Kikuchi (1-5) allowed five hits and three walks while striking out six in his third start since returning Aug. 23 from left shoulder inflammation that kept him out since late April. The 35-year-old two-time All-Star last won in his final start last season, giving up one run in five innings as the Angels topped the Royals 3-2 on Sept. 24, 2025.

Pirates starter Braxton Ashcraft (14-6) struck out nine, but allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings. The 26-year-old right-hander struck out seven while allowing one hit through 3 1/3 innings before Wade Meckler doubled into shallow left field with one out in the fourth. Moisés Ballesteros hit a sharp two-out single under the glove of second baseman Nick Gonzales, scoring Meckler from second.

Josh Lowe led off the fifth with a 410-foot shot to center field for his 11th homer of the season. Denzer Guzman followed with a single to left, moved to second on Adam Frazier’s sacrifice bunt and extended the lead to 3-0 by scoring on the first of Zach Neto’s three singles.

Esmerlyn Valdez walked and Bryan Reynolds singled to start the sixth for Pittsburgh. Kikuchi then struck out Oneil Cruz, forced Nick Gonzales into a force out and erased the threat by getting Rafael Flores Jr. to fly out to center.

The Angels tacked on three runs in the seventh. Mike Trout hit an RBI single through the left side of the infield and Meckler drove in two more with a double to right-center.

Reynolds hit a two-out home run, his 16th of the season and first since July 28. It was a 421-foot shot over the right-field wall in the eighth for the Pirates’ lone run.

Jones throws 6 strong innings, Mangum doubles in run in Pirates’ 1-0 win over Angels

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jared Jones pitched six strong innings, Jake Mangum had an RBI double in the second inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Friday night.

The MLB-worst Angels (53-88) lost for the 10th time in 11 games. The Pirates have won five of six games.

Jones (3-6) blanked the Angels on three hits to win for the first time in eight starts since beating Cleveland on July 18. He struck out nine, walked one, and threw 63 of 91 pitches for strikes.

Wilber Dotel pitched two innings, and Mason Montgomery worked the ninth to complete the four-hitter and the Pirates’ ninth shutout of the season. Montgomery had his ninth save.

Ryan Johnson (3-8) was the hard-luck loser, giving up one run and four hits over six innings with six strikeouts and two walks. He has a 1.67 ERA in his last six starts and allowed zero or one run in five of those outings.

Prized rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin returned from the injured list for the Pirates and made an immediate impact when he scored the lone run from first base on Mangum’s one-out double to right field in the second inning.

Griffin had been sidelined since July 6 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left ring finger. The Pirates signed the 20-year-old to a nine-year, $140-million contract, the richest in franchise history, in April.

The Angels hit back-to-back singles to open the top of the second, but Jones got Christian Moore to foul out, then struck out Jose Siri and Adam Frazier. The Halos have been shut out 12 times.
