TORONTO — Andrew McCutchen's early exit because of a sore left knee took some of the shine off a solid pitching performance by Pittsburgh's Jameson Taillon.
Taillon worked six innings to snap a three-start winless streak, Josh Harrison had two hits and the Pirates beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Friday night, their seventh win in nine games.
McCutchen limped off one batter after hitting an RBI double in the third. A five-time All-Star and Pittsburgh's leader in home runs and RBIs, McCutchen is day to day.
"I was just taking my secondary lead and my knee kind of grabbed," McCutchen said.
