George Springer hit his 65th leadoff home run and the Toronto Blue Jays sent Paul Skenes to losses in consecutive starts for the first time this season, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 Saturday for their fourth straight win and seventh in 10 games.

Skenes (6-4), the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, allowed four runs, one walk and a career-high nine hits in five-plus innings with two strikeouts, just his second time with fewer than five this season. His ERA rose to 3.00.
