The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 11-1, at PNC Park today. Leading the charge for Pittsburgh was shortstop Zach Melcher. He went 2-3 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Pittsburgh reliever Ricky Sanchez picked up the win, upping his record to 5-3. Josh Weimer was saddled with the loss. Pittsburgh currently is in first place in the National League Central Division at 51-24.

Melcher brought the fans to their feet in the bottom of the second, when the 26-year old shortstop ripped a 3-run home run. The round-tripper put Pittsburgh ahead, 3-0.

Toronto manager Scott Lieser called the blowout loss "a real dud."
