Heaney took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning before Victor Scott II came through with a two-out single. He finished with seven strikeouts and only issued one walk. It was a badly-needed rebound effort for the 34-year-old southpaw after surrendering seven runs in each of his previous two starts. He’ll bring a respectable 4.16 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 71/31 K/BB ratio across 93 innings (17 starts) into a road tilt on Sunday against the Mariners.

Pittsburgh has won four consecutive games by at least seven runs following Monday’s latest one-sided blowout. Horwitz was the primary catalyst in this one, kicking off the scoring with a first-inning solo shot — his second round-tripper of the season — against Cardinals starter Erick Fedde. He also tacked on a two-run double in the fifth inning as part of a six-run explosion for the Pirates red-hot offense.

Cruz remains stuck in the fifth spot despite a two-homer performance during Sunday’s drubbing of the Mets. It’ll be Spencer Horwitz leading off on Monday night as Pirates interim manager Don Kelly continues to shake up his lineup card. The 26-year-old power/speed combo center fielder has been scuffling in recent weeks, so the decision to drop him in the lineup could wind up igniting an offensive surge.

Yorke was acquired from Boston at last year’s trade deadline for Quinn Priester, so the Pirates are probably not thrilled about how well Priester has looked after overhauling his arsenal in Boston this offseason. Yorke is slashing .276/.346/.374 with four home runs and 11 steals in 64 games in Triple-A this season. At some point, he probably deserves a look in Pittsburgh.
