RecapSpencer Horwitz went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored as the Pirates defeated the Twins 9-3 on Sunday afternoon.
It wraps up a 5-for-14 weekend series for Horwitz, who homered on Saturday. The first baseman has worked his way into everyday playing time for the Pirates, including seven straight starts leading off against right-handers. Horwitz leaves Sunday’s win with more walks than strikeouts and a career-high 142 wRC+. The absence of speed is his only profile hole for fantasy leagues, as he’s a batting-average asset with non-zero power hitting atop a lineup that ranks fourth in the majors in runs scored.
