Pirates Morning Report: Blue Jays Tie Series, Brewers On The Brink

The Toronto Blue Jays bats remained smoking hot to win game four 8-2. They scored 8 runs on 11 hits to go along with 4 walks. The Mariners walked in a run in the top of the third to make the score 3-1. In the bottom of the 6th the Blue Jays tried to help them out. After getting the first two out they walked the next two batters. Eugenio Suarez singled to right driving in a run. Josh Naylor committed the cardinal sin of getting thrown out at 3rd with 2 outs. This is even worse when you are behind 5-2 at the time. The Mariners never threatened to make a game of it after that. Speaking of even worse the Milwaukee Brewers offense continued its playoff slumber. They could not even hit the beleaguered Dodger bullpen. They scored only one run for the 3rd consecutive game to fall behind 3 games to none. Unless there is the Red Sox miracle it looks like the Dodgers are headed to the World Series for the 2nd year in a row. Damn! Both series resume tonight with Mariners-Blue Jays leading off. The Dodgers could clinch tonight. Let’s hope the Brewers have some fight left in them.
