This is the second year in a row that Skenes became a finalist for this award and he joins fellow finalists Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Skenes finished this year with statistics including a 10-10 record, a 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts through 32 starts and 187 and 2/3 innings, with one start as a complete game. Skenes’ 2025 ERA along with his 0.95 WHIP, 2.36 FIP and 217 ERA+ this year were all first among pitchers in the National League.

HEINZ and Herschel Supply Debut New Luggage Collection Packing Both Flavor and Style

(Photo Courtesy of Business Wire and the Associated Press)

PITTSBURGH, CHICAGO, & VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov 4, 2025– Today, HEINZ, the global leader in condiments, is partnering with global lifestyle brand, Herschel Supply, to announce a first-ever collaboration uniting flavor and style. Inspired by the quarter of Gen Z and Millennials who pack their own condiments when dining on-the-go, 1 the collection transforms HEINZ Ketchup into a stylish, travel-ready accessory—allowing fans to carry their favorite sauce with them this travel season, no matter the destination or travel size requirements.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251104058172/en/

Today, global condiment leader HEINZ partners with global lifestyle brand Herschel Supply to announce a first-ever collaboration uniting flavor and style.

As two iconic brands in their respective categories, the red-hot, limited-edition collaboration adds flavor to everyday travel in the quality and craftsmanship Herschel and HEINZ are known for. Combining Herschel’s best-selling silhouette with HEINZ’s unmistakably rich “ketchup red” color, the new luggage makes a bold, design-forward travel statement that balances function and style.

The Herschel x HEINZ collection features two standout pieces – the Herschel Heritage™ Hardshell Medium Luggage and the Herschel Heritage™ Hardshell Large Carry-On. Both pieces include features jetsetters love including easy-access split design with a zippered closure, reinforced corners for extra protection and 70% recycled polycarbonate material made tough and impact-resistant to handle all the trips. In addition to the bags’ bold red exterior color, the collection includes unique pops of flavor throughout, including the “tear here” ketchup visual, an interior print featuring HEINZ Ketchup packets and a custom removable belt and luggage tag in the shape of an iconic HEINZ Ketchup packet.

“To our condiment-obsessed fans, ketchup is a non-negotiable on their packing lists,” says Jacqueline Lanphier, Senior Brand Manager, HEINZ. “Whether they are stashing packets in their carry-ons or including a full-sized bottle in their checked bags, this collection celebrates fans’ loyalty and passion for going all in on the things they love no matter where their adventures may take them. As a fellow brand with unapologetic fandom and dedication to style, quality and purpose, Herschel is the perfect partner to bring our vision to life – because life’s too short for bland luggage or bland food.”

The Herschel x HEINZ collection ladders up to HEINZ’s global creative platform “It Has to Be HEINZ,” celebrating the irrational love fans have for the brand’s commitment to rich flavor and uncompromising quality. Similarly, Herschel is globally recognized for designing travel gear that is thoughtfully constructed, built to last and made for people who move through the world with intention. Together, they share a deep commitment to making great products that people love, and the Herschel x HEINZ collection is no exception – offering luggage that’s as functional as it is fashionable.

“Herschel has always been about designing products that are functional, durable, and timeless, with subtle moments of personality and discovery,” says Jamie Cormack, Co-Founder of Herschel Supply. “Collaborating with HEINZ was a natural fit. Their signature red is part of everyday life, instantly familiar and iconic. Together we evolved our Heritage Hardshell with refined details that feel distinctly Herschel and HEINZ.”

The collection is available online at www.herschel.com in the United States and Canada while supplies last. For information on the limited-edition collab and more, keep an eye on @Heinz, @Herschelsupply on Instagram and @Heinz_us, @Herschelsupply on TikTok.
