Cito Gastin returned to the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night in hopes salvaging a disappointing season, unfortunately the Pirates weren’t interested in celebrating with him tonight.  The Pirates were coming off  a very difficult road trip in the windy city where the pitching staff was battered to the tune of 37 runs, and were turning  to Zach Duke for some much needed stability.  Prior to the game, Nyjer Morgan was recalled from Indianapolis at the expense of Marino Salas to give the Pirates an extra fielder with Doumit still sidelined with a concussion, and Nady nursing a sore shoulder.  With two major offensive pieces on the bench, the Pirates were in hopes that Duke could give them some quality innings to rest up that tired bullpen.  Zach Duke did just that, he  pitched 7 strong innings giving up 6 hits, striking out 4 and only walking 1 and was on the receiving end of some spectacular defensive plays, three of which were by Doug Mientkiewicz, starting at third, and one beauty by Jack Flash deep in the hole between short and third.  Roy Halladay for the Jays was equal to the task, pitching 7 strong, giving up 7 hits and striking out 7, only leaving the game in the 7^th after being drilled in the side of the head by a line drive off of the bat of Nyjer Morgan.  Halladay, according to Gastin was ok and not expected to miss as start.  After the 7^th the game was turned over to that tired bullpen, but tonight  Marte, Capps, and Yates combined to give the Pirates 5 scoreless innings of relief. A difficult situation for the bullpen because the Jays and the Pirates decided to play some extra baseball to the delight of the 28,962 in attendance   Mientkiewicz, in addition to his stellar defensive display also provided most of the offense during the game going 3 of 4, including the leadoff double in the 12^th which would allow him to score the game’s only run off of a bases loaded dribbler up the middle off the bat of Jason Michaels. Although the Blue Jays offense is struggling, it was important for the Pirates to come back from the sweep in Chicago with a win.  It was definitely no easy task against a pitcher like Roy Halladay, but the Pirates were able to get it done.
