PITTSBURGH (AP) – Bryan Reynolds drew a four-pitch walk from Tyler Matzek, forcing in the winning run in the ninth inning and giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night and a three-game winning streak. Matzek (0-3) threw just eight of 20 pitches for strikes. Pittsburgh has won three in a row following a six-game losing streak. The Braves had won four of five before losing twice to the Pirates. Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a pair of doubles for the Pirates. Adam Frazier and Wilmer Difo also had two hits each. Orlando Arcia had two of the Braves’ five hits, including a home run. Richard RodrÃguez (4-1) pitched a perfect ninth for the Pirates. ORIOLES 7, BLUE JAYS 5 BALTIMORE (AP) – Pedro Severino and Cedric Mullins homered off Steven Matz, Anthony Santander also went deep and Baltimore beat Toronto. Toronto hit three home runs, too, including No. 28 by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but all those long balls came after Baltimore had taken a 7-1 lead. Matz (7-4) allowed six hits and four runs – three earned – and struck out four in four innings. Making his first major league start, Orioles right-hander Spencer Watkins (1-0) allowed one run and three hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out two. Guerrero hit solo shot in the eighth after Randal Grichuck went deep in the seventh, and Lourdes Guriel Jr. capped the scoring with a two-run drive in the ninth. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
