DUNEDIN, Fla. — Starting pitchers Casey Sadler and Aaron Sanchez each threw three hitless innings Sunday and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0.

Sadler, who is expected to begin the year at Triple-A Indianapolis, struck out three without a walk for the Pirates. Toronto had just one hit until getting two more in the ninth.

“He’s going to be best served by sinking that ball and being aggressive on both sides of the plate. Using his changeup,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. “That’s what he did today and that’s what all the pitchers got to do anytime you face a lineup that can do damage on that.”

Sanchez fanned three and walked one. In his first exhibition start Wednesday, also against the Pirates, the hard-throwing righty gave up four hits and five runs in 1 1-3 innings.

“Going back to my first start, it was more about making sure I felt good, making sure by fastball command was there and that was really the first time I got to face hitters,” Sanchez said.

Jose Bautista returned to Toronto’s lineup in right field after missing the past two games with tightness in his right hamstring. He went 0 for 1 with a walk.

Brent Morel doubled home Jose Tabata in the fourth.

The game took just 2 hours, 29 minutes to complete.

The Pirates’ Corey Hart will make his spring debut at designated hitter during a B game against the Twins on Monday morning. The two-time All-Star with Milwaukee has missed the first six exhibition games after he cut the bottom of his foot on a loose filter while getting into a hot tub last Sunday.

Three stitches were required to close the wound.

Third baseman Josh Harrison is scheduled to return to the lineup Monday against Minnesota. Harrison has been out since leaving last Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays in the second inning with discomfort in his left ankle.

Korean rookie Jung Ho Kang is tentatively listed to play third base for the first time on Monday against the Twins in Bradenton. Kang, who has primarily played shortstop this spring, signed a four-year, $16 million contract with Pittsburgh in January after nine seasons with the Nexen Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization.
