DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — Jose Bautista hit a tying two-run double in the fifth inning, Mike McCoy had a go-ahead RBI single in a two-run seventh and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4 in a game between split squads Saturday.

Ricky Romero, named Friday as the Blue Jays opening day starter, gave up four runs on four hits and five walks in 3 2-3 innings before being removed after 73 pitches. He gave up two runs in the first inning, one on Andrew McCutcheon’s double. McCutcheon drove in two more in the third with his second homer this spring to put the Pirates up 4-1.

Edwin Encarnacion hit a solo home run in the fourth before Bautista tied it an inning later.
