Blue Pirates Post 2-1 Win Over Pittsburgh
The Toronto Blue Pirates did just enough to secure a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, at PNC Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Sonny Gray. Nathan Eovaldi earned save number 1 this season. The Blue Pirates, at 71-56, have now won 5 straight.

The Blue Pirates benefited from an error in the top of the fifth inning. Toronto was leading 1-0 when Nathaniel Lowe hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put Toronto in front, 2-0.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Gray said.
