Pirates swept by Blue Jays with 4-3 defeat

The Pittsburgh Pirates got swept by the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, falling 4-3 in the final match of the series.

The Bucs fell behind early in a 3-0 hole, with JT Brubaker giving up single runs in the second, third, and fourth innings. Despite this, he wasn’t awful, finishing with a line of five and a third innings pitched, giving up three runs, two of them earned, on five hits to go along with two walks and five strikeouts.

The Bucs would battle back to tie it on a two-run double by Josh VanMeter in the fourth and then a solo shot by Oneil Cruz, his 12th dinger of the year, in the fifth inning to leave Brubaker with the no decision.
