Pirates fall to Blue Jays 10-4

The biggest highlight came in the top of the seventh when first base prospect Mason Martin showed off his prodigious power by golfing a solo home run to right off the Blue Jays’ appropriately named reliever Maximo Castillo.
But Martin’s blast only brought the Pirates to within 6-3, and after Bligh Madris’ solo homer in the eighth made it 6-4, Toronto put the game away with four in the bottom of the eighth.
