Andrew Heaney carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Spencer Horwitz homered as part of a three-RBI game in the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park on Monday night.
Heaney issued a leadoff walk to Brendan Donovan, who was erased on a double play. After that, he didnt allow another baserunner until Victor Scott II flared a base hit into left field with two outs in the sixth.
Horwitz, who hit leadoff for the first time this season, opened the bottom of the first with a solo home run off Erick Fedde (3-8).
The score remained 1-0 until the bottom of the fifth, when the Pirates (36-50) sent 10 men to the plate and scored six runs on seven hits.
