Olivia Dunne's boyfriend Paul Skenes sets MLB record as he continues to dominate on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes continues to be a dominant force on the mound for the Buckos this season.

He's already smashed a record just ten starts into his Major League Baseball career.

Skenes has recorded seven or more strikeouts in nine of his first ten starts - something no other pitcher has ever done.


The pitcher recorded eight strikeouts and only gave up two earned runs on four hits across seven innings of work to notch the fifth win of his career as Pittsburgh beat the New York Mets 14-2.

Things have been smooth sailing for Skenes - who's been living the good life alongside his girlfriend Olivia Dunne.

Skenes posted six photos in the post with four containing the LSU gymnastics national champion in a June photo dump on Instagram. 

Two of the photos containing Dunne appear to be at a concert, while another pair were from the couple's recent boat trip onto one of the three rivers of Pittsburgh. 

The photos that do not have Dunne in them are of Skenes' dogs and a selfie with fellow Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones. 

Also on the boat was Jones' girlfriend, Rylie Fox, and Pirates pitcher Kyle Nicolas.

Skenes and Dunne have been dating about a year since the couple met as student-athletes at LSU.
