Pirates Capitalize on Blue Jays' Errors as Skenes Rebounds in 5–2 Win

Rookie Paul Skenes set the tone in a game swung by Toronto errors.

Overview

  • Paul Skenes worked six innings with eight strikeouts and one walk, allowing two runs to lower his ERA to about 2.16.
  • Henry Davis opened the seventh with a double and scored the go-ahead run on Brendon Little's wild pitch.
  • Toronto committed three errors, including one in the eighth that led directly to a run, and benches briefly cleared after a seventh-inning verbal exchange.
  • Evan Sisk recorded his first major-league win and Dennis Santana earned his eighth save as Pittsburgh collected just its second victory in nine games.
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited in the fifth with left-hamstring stiffness, and an MRI on Tuesday showed no major damage.
