Shortly after the win, Dunne took to Instagram to cheer for her boyfriend. She shared MLB’s post on her Instagram story and wrote “Slay” in the caption, only to applaud her boyfriend for a strong showing during the competition.

Despite having a no-hitter going, Skenes was pulled out of the game by Derek Shelton. He then sent Colin Holderman to continue the game during their recent matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Shelton later explained the reason behind this decision, citing that Skenes was tired and thus had to be pulled out. Besides, after the event, during an appearance on MLB Network, Skenes went on to explain that he appeared to be fine with the decision.
Skenes said: “I wasn't going to be surprised either way if he sent me out or pulled me…Obviously, in a 1-0 game, you want to stay in there, you want to finish it, but the volume's getting up there a little bit, so I get it.”
