Oviedo earns 1st major league win since 2023 as Pirates beat Blue Jays 2-1 to take the series
Johan Oviedo earned his first major league win since 2023 and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 to take the three-game series.
The Toronto Blue Jays need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) to be successful, but not against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. They won 7-3 at PNC Park without their star after he left Monday’s 5-2 loss early.
Offensively, George Springer hit his 20th home run of the campaign, while Alejandro Kirk hit his 10th. It was part of a three-hit night for Kirk where he went 3-for-5 with three RBIs. He also tied World Series winner Pat Borders in some history among Jays catchers.
