Pittsburgh PiratesvsToronto Blue Jays
PIT 2/TOR 5
Things to say
Toronto beat Pittsburgh 5-2 at the Rogers Centre.
01
opener
Jays took care of business at home, 5-2 over the Pirates. Felt like Toronto controlled it from the middle innings on. Pittsburgh just couldn't string anything together.
02
key player
Whoever Toronto ran out there got into his stuff early — Pirates bats looked late all night.
03
hot take
Pittsburgh's a .500 team that plays like a 70-win club on the road. That record is lying to you.
04
deep cut
Rogers Centre with the roof closed is basically a launching pad — two of those Toronto runs should've been routine flies.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Pirates can steal one before they fly home — getaway day tomorrow.
The recap
Blue Jays took care of business at home, 5-2 over the Pirates at the Rogers Centre. Toronto's bats finally showed up in the middle innings and Pittsburgh's pen couldn't slam the door once the heart of the order got going.
Pirates drop back to .500 and the Jays climb out of the basement a bit. Quiet Saturday night, but a clean win is a clean win.
