The Pirates loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the second inning, as Blue Jays right-handed starting pitcher Max Scherzer walked designated hitter Andrew McCutchen and center fielder Jack Suwinski and then catcher Joey Bart reached first base safely on a ground ball.

Max Scherzer pitched six strong innings to notch his 220th career win, and George Springer hit an early two-run home run as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3 on Tuesday night.

Jays 7 Pirates 3 What a terrific start from Max Scherzer. He went six innings, allowing four hits, one earned, three walks with four strikeouts. He did get some help from a couple of terrific catches by Myles Straw.
