Spencer Horwitz went 2-for-4 and drove in a run as the Pirates fell to the Cubs on Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Horwitz opened the scoring in the top half of the first inning with an RBI single off of right-hander Colin Rea. He also singled with two outs in the sixth inning but the Pirates were unable to cash him in. With his two-hit attack, the 27-year-old first baseman is now hitting .227/.299/.330 with one long ball and seven RBI.

Mitch Keller pitched well in a no-decision against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon, surrendering just two runs on three hits over his six innings of work.

Keller struck out three opposing hitters on the day while issuing a pair of free passes. All of the scoring done against him came in the opening frame as Seiya Suzuki drove in a run with a ground out and Dansby Swanson added a two-out RBI single. The 29-year-old hurler generated nine swings and misses on 88 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he brings a 1-9 record, 4.08 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 68/22 K/BB ratio (88 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Rangers.

Mike Burrows yielded one run in 5 1/3 innings and struck out eight in a no-decision Saturday.

After struggling in his first two starts last month, Burrows has been very good twice and adequate once in three starts in June, leaving him with a 4.24 ERA overall. The eight strikeouts today topped his previous high by two, and he went without a walk for the second time in his five starts. He’ll make his next start at home against the Rangers.

Starting at catcher, Iván Herrera went 2-for-3 and hit his eighth homer Sunday against the Brewers.

It’s kind of eerie how all of Herrera’s best offensive games come when he’s catching. His previous homer came Monday, which was also the last game he had caught. In between, he was limited to four singles in 20 at-bats as a DH. He’s currently batting .377 with six homers in 12 games as a catcher, compared to .284 with two homers in 27 games as a DH.

Braxton Fulford went 2-for-2 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and five RBI against the Braves on Sunday.

Gary Sanchez went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a grand slam against the Angels on Sunday.
