The Toronto Blue Jays aim to complete a holiday weekend series with a clean sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In the series opener on May 22, Kevin Guzman pitched until the seventh inning, leading the Blue Jays to a 6-2 victory. Key contributions from George Springer and Johendrik Piñango, both hitting two-run doubles, sealed the win. This marked Toronto’s third straight victory, having previously defeated the Yankees twice that week.
Continuing that momentum on May 23, the Blue Jays turned to Patrick Corbin, who struck out seven over six innings, outdoing Pirates ace Paul Skeens. Backed by solo home runs from Springer and Tyler Heineman, Toronto triumphed again, winning 5-2 and securing the series.
