Blue Jays Score Late, Upend Pirates, 7-5
The Toronto (GCL) Blue Jays topped the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates, 7-5, the lion's share of the credit going to right fielder Jesús López. On the day, López went 2-3 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Blue Jays. Eugene Howe recorded his 7th save for Toronto (GCL). The Blue Jays, at 21-20, lead by one game in their division.

Toronto (GCL) took a 7-5 lead on Johnny Hurt's 9th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Hurt hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Pittsburgh (GCL) pitcher Bob Harvey visibly frustrated.

"It felt good to put the barrel on the ball," said López.
