Pirates Hand Toronto 4-3 Loss
Duane Cooper had a strong outing for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Toronto Blue Jays at PNC Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. Pittsburgh reliever Adbert Alzolay picked up the win, upping his record to 4-5. Max Pearson was saddled with the loss. Charlie Maxwell was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 2 of 8 save opportunities.

Had Dave Murray not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Murray hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Pirates.

"Duane giving us the start that he did was huge," said Pittsburgh manager Jose Mijares.

Pittsburgh is now 60-67, Toronto 71-57.
