Bailey Ober, who is on pace for 201 strikeouts this season, had a strong outing for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Toronto Blue Jays at PNC Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 2-1 win. Pierce Johnson recorded the save, his 21st. The Pittsburgh win streak is now 4 games.

Pittsburgh second baseman Jamie Westbrook helped the Pirates go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Westbrook hit a run-scoring single off Toronto pitcher Aaron Civale.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Toronto manager Dan D, "let me know."
