Anderson allows six runs, Pirates down Blue Jays 19-13 at spring training

DUNEDIN, Fla. - Right-hander Chase Anderson allowed six runs in another lacklustre spring training start, and the Toronto Blue Jays fell 19-13 to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Grapefruit Leauge play on Friday.

Anderson gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out a batter over his three-inning start.

The 32-year-old Anderson, acquired by Toronto in an off-season trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, allowed four runs over 2/3 innings in his last start, also against Pittsburgh, on Sunday.

T.J. Zeuch took the loss, allowing six runs — three earned — in one inning of work while Ryan Dull allowed another six runs and didn't record an out.

Ruben Tejada and Jonathan Davis each hit three-run homers for Toronto while Joe Panik and Randal Grichuk added two-run shots.

Chris Archer started for Pittsburgh, striking out four batters and allowing just one hit and one walk over two frames. William Jerez earned the win with a clean inning of relief.

The Blue Jays open their regular season at home against the Boston Red Sox March 26.
