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

On the fourth pitch, a sinker on the outer edge, Heaney got Winn
to ground right to Gonzales at second for a double play.
