On a day delayed roughly 90 minutes by rain, it would be the visiting Blue Jays who would reign supreme.
Yusei Kikuchi followed the lead established by Chris Bassitt, who got the ball rolling in the series opener by pitching seven shutout innings.
He gave up a leadoff single in the sixth, the third of the game yielded by Kikuchi, and then issued his second free pass as Pittsburgh threatened.He came out for the seventh and was relieved after giving up a one-out double.Advertisement 4Enter Jordan Romano, who bailed out Garcia by recording the two inning-ending outs.
Despite a 20-8 start to the season, the franchise’s best since 1992, the Pirates have not been good of late and credit the Jays for seizing the opportunity and moment. It happened to be his second in a row after Guerrero was a late scratch Saturday because of left wrist discomfort. If he can’t play Tuesday, perhaps caution turns into concern and a stint on the IL might be considered.
