Skenes Shines as Pirates Capitalize on Blue Jays’ Errors for 5-2 Win

Paul Skenes struck out eight and allowed two runs over six innings as Pirates capitalized on three Blue Jays errors and a wild pitch to win 5-2.

  • On Monday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of sloppy play by the Toronto Blue Jays to win 5, as errors and a wild pitch contributed to the victory.
  • Toronto’s defense faltered with three errors, including one that led to a run, and Brendon Little threw a wild pitch in the eighth inning.
  • Despite an early rally, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., first baseman, and Bo Bichette, shortstop, produced Toronto’s two third-inning runs with key hits, but Kyle Nicolas ended an eighth-inning threat with a double play.
  • The benches cleared in the seventh when Tommy Pham jawed with catcher Tyler Heineman after a walk, and Evan Sisk earned his first victory with a scoreless seventh.
  • Seeking his 220th career win, Blue Jays’ Max Scherzer will face Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller, who has a 5-11 record and a 4.13 ERA.
