Errors cost Toronto Blue Jays in 4-2 interleague loss to Pittsburgh Pirates
TORONTO — Friday night was a learning experience for young Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Rob Refsnyder. The 26-year-old made a pair of errors in the third inning to help the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-2 victory at Rogers Centre.
“It was a tough night for him, nobody feels worse than him,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “That’s the way it goes sometimes. Definitely wasn’t from a lack of effort that’s for sure.”
After John Jaso was hit in the foot by a pitch, Frank Cervelli reached throwing error by Refsnyder, which allowed Jaso to advance to third.
A second error by Refsnyder allowed Adam Frazier to reach while scoring Jaso from third. Josh Harrison delivered an RBI single and Andrew McCutchen drove in Frazier on a double to right field
