Heaney takes no-hitter into 6th and Pirates stay hot with 7-0 win over Cardinals
By WES CROSBY
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Andrew Heaney carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and
Spencer Horwitz powered Pittsburgh's offense as the Pirates cruised past the
St. Louis Cardinals 7-0 on Monday night to match a season high with their
fourth straight victory.
Heaney (4-7) allowed three hits and struck out seven with one walk on 95
pitches through 6 2/3 innings. After a 71-minute rain delay, he walked Brendan
Donovan to start the game before retiring the next 16 batters.
Victor Scott II spoiled the no-hit bid with two outs in the sixth, lining the
eighth pitch of his at-bat to left field for a single.
Heaney, a 34-year-old left-hander, gave up a combined 14 runs and 15 hits in
eight innings across his previous two starts.
The last-place Pirates have outscored their past four opponents 37-4, including
a lopsided three-game sweep of the New York Mets over the weekend.
Horwitz hit a leadoff homer against Erick Fedde (3-8) and finished with three
RBIs.
Joey Bart and Isiah Kiner-Falefa had consecutive singles to begin a six-run
fifth, Pittsburgh's first hits since the opening inning. Horwitz followed with
a two-run double, Nick Gonzales had an RBI double and Ke'Bryan Hayes added a
two-run single. Tommy Pham capped the outburst with an RBI single.
Fedde gave up seven runs and 10 hits with three walks in five innings.
Key moment Heaney fell behind 2-1 against Masyn Winn after walking Donovan. On the fourth pitch, a sinker on the outer edge, Heaney got Winn to ground right to Gonzales at second for a double play.
Key stat
There have been 326 no-hitters in major league history. Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge combined for the most recent on Sept. 4, 2024, for the Chicago Cubs against Pittsburgh.
