Toronto Loses Again, 8-4
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-4, at Three Rivers Stadium. The Pirates got a fine performance from shortstop Joe Bowling, who went 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The last-place Blue Jays have lost 8 straight games.

The Blue Jays had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Pirates going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Bill Graham came to the plate. Graham hit a 2-run double on a 0-2 fastball from Toronto hurler Michael Shanan. It was Graham's 18th double of the year.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Bowling.
