Livvy Dunne Draws Attention as Paul Skenes Gives Up Home Run

Livvy Dunne's candid reaction stole attention during the Pittsburgh Pirates' 5-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night at Rogers Centre.

The former LSU gymnast and social media influencer watched boyfriend Paul Skenes (6-4) struggle through one of his toughest starts this season.

Toronto wasted no time attacking the reigning NL Cy Young winner. On the third pitch of the game, George Springer hammered a leadoff home run deep over the wall. Cameras quickly turned toward Dunne in the stands, where her blunt one-word reaction instantly spread across social media.

"F-!" Dunne shouted after hearing the crack of the bat, a response many Pirates fans understood immediately.

Fans online praised her passion and baseball knowledge.

One fan wrote, "I give her a lot of credit she knew based off the sound off the bat. That's someone who legit watches the game."

Another added, "I vibe with how personal she takes it. The fact she's in the stands.. in Toronto… supporting her man. Skenes got a keeper."

A third fan posted, "She knows ball; the sound of the bat made her say that."

One fan wrote, "I mean… does anyone else find it kinda hot her reacting this way and being into the game? Most attractive thing I've see her do in a while."

A user reacted, saying, "It's awesome; she looks so pissed. That's how you know she's a fan for real."

One fan mentioned, "Giving up a HR 1st batter with ya lady in the stands is wild."

Dunne reacts to her viral phone moment

Dunne later joked about her viral phone moment on Instagram. "Me just trying to listen to meditation music," she wrote while reposting the clip.

Skenes allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two batters over five-plus innings. The Blue Jays collected four straight hits in the sixth inning before Pittsburgh removed him from the game.

It marked the second straight rough outing for Skenes after he surrendered five runs against Philadelphia in his previous start. His ERA climbed to 3.00 despite maintaining a strong 0.82 WHIP through 11 starts this season.

Meanwhile, Dunne is quite supportive of Skenes. She recently revealed on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that she screams "Let's go, Paul" before every pitch because of her superstition while watching games.
