Skenes (7-8, 1.94 ERA) will be opposed by fellow right-hander Freddy Peralta (13-5, 3.03), who leads the NL in victories.
Peralta is 8-1 with a 3.52 ERA over his past 10 starts. He picked up a win in his latest outing, allowing one run on four hits in five innings in a 7-2 victory at Atlanta on Aug. 5.
Peralta is 3-2 with a 3.58 ERA in 24 career games, including 15 starts, against Pittsburgh. He is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts this season versus the Pirates.
Skenes allowed a career-high seven hits in his most recent start, but he did not allow a run in six innings during a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
"He's got that knack," Kelly said after that contest. "He's got elite stuff, but when he gets in trouble, he's able to go to a lot of different things to get out of the inning, to be able to get punchouts or induce double plays."
Skenes is 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA in three career starts versus Milwaukee. He is 0-1 in two starts against the Brewers this season, having allowed a total of five runs in 10 innings.
The Pirates are 24-47 this season when their starter fails to go six innings. Pittsburgh also dropped to 17-40 on the road, compared with 34-29 at home.

Right-hander Spencer Arrighetti (1-2, 7.43 ERA) is the scheduled starter for the Astros on Tuesday.
He made his return from a four-month stint on the injured list (fractured thumb) against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday and allowed five runs on 11 hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings in a 6-4 loss. It marked just the third start of the season for Arrighetti.
Arrighetti made one start against the Red Sox last season as a rookie. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk with a career-high 13 strikeouts in seven innings in a 5-4 win on Aug. 10.
Right-hander Dustin May (6-8, 4.93) has the starting assignment for the Red Sox on Tuesday.
May allowed three runs on six hits over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday in his first start for the Red Sox following his trade- deadline acquisition from the Los Angeles Dodgers. He alternated wins and losses over his last six decisions and seven starts with the Dodgers, going 3-3 with a 5.54 ERA in that span.
In his lone career start against the Astros, May allowed one run on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings but did not factor into the decision of a 4-2 win on July 29, 2020, while pitching for the Dodgers.
