TORONTO (AP) — Nathan Lukes drove in the winning run with a double in the eighth inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
Pinch hitter George Springer singled off right-hander Andrew Kittredge (4-5) with one out in the eighth and Lukes followed with an RBI double into the left field corner.
Lukes and Kittredge were teammates with Tampa Bay’s Triple-A team in Durham in 2019.
Davis Schneider added a two-run home run, his second homer in two games, to help the Blue Jays sweep their fifth series of the season.
Miles Mikolas was charged with two runs and three hits in five innings. He walked none and struck out four.
RHP Andre Pallante (6-8, 4.13 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday in the opener of a three-game series at home against Pittsburgh. RHP Paul Skenes (10-2, 2.10) goes for the Pirates, 5:50 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:45 on KIRX.
