Yunel Escobar doubled home the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning, Brandon Morrow struck out 10 and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Wednesday night.
After taking two of three from the Boston Red Sox, the Pittsburgh Pirates held on for a 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night.
