PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes kept the American League-leading Toronto Blue Jays in check for six innings, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates secure a 5-2 victory. Skenes bounced back from a shaky performance to allow just two runs, striking out eight. Evan Sisk earned his first big league win with a scoreless seventh inning, and Dennis Santana got his eighth save. The Pirates capitalized on Toronto’s three errors, including a wild pitch that allowed Henry Davis to score. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited in the fifth with hamstring tightness. The Pirates’ win was just their second in their last nine games.
