0:42
opportunity here for Mason Win who got

0:48
little pressure on
0:50
pass the pitcher Haney and right to
0:53
second
0:55
a double play nick Gonzalez there by the
0:59
bag seems like nowadays especially you
1:02
just get a ball hit up the middle it's
1:03
going to be a double play it's the
1:04
easiest double play there is and you hit
1:06
a ball up the middle alec Berles is the
1:08
batter berles is four for his last 13
1:11
ikf and doesn't matter where the infield
1:14
is for that at bat haney takes care of
1:17
Burlson and the Pirates come to bat in
1:19
the bottom of the first there's Eric
1:20
Fetty ready to go in the bottom of the
1:23
first inning yeah three and two/3 gave
1:25
up seven last time out definitely
1:27
looking to pack that one away horwitz
1:28
who becomes the 10th different leadoff
1:30
hitter for the Pirates this year a drive
1:33
to right center field for Spencer
1:35
Horowitz and clear the deck cannonball
1:39
coming that's the way to be a leadoff
1:42
hitter hit your second home run as a
1:45
Pirate and give you a quick one- nothing
1:48
lead uh wouldn't you know we don't see
1:50
Spencer Horowitz hit much in that
1:51
leadoff spot don Kelly had a niche to
1:54
throw him in there see if he can get
1:55
this offense going and what do you know
1:57
first pitch he swings out of the day
1:59
leads off for the 10th time in his
2:01
career he did it nine times as a member
2:03
of the Blue Jays last year the line
2:04
drive to left field for Andrew McCutchen
2:08
home run to lead off double to the
2:12
second batter and the Pirates just
2:14
trying to pick up where they left off of
2:15
the weekend against the Mets pirates
2:18
must be color blind i think these guys
2:19
still wearing blue hats mccutchen hits
2:22
that sweeper down the line in left the
2:25
second pitch he sees
2:28
and there's a ground ball base hit right
2:31
mccuten will be held at third reynolds
2:33
singles this is a case where you you're
2:36
just trying to pull pull pull want to
2:38
get the runner over if I get a hit
2:40
that's uh from Cherry on top and that's
2:42
what he did definitely was going to get
2:44
the runner over and it got through the
2:46
hole first and third nobody out infield
2:49
at double play depth for Nick Gonzalez
2:52
right back to the mound he'll get the
2:54
out there and it's double play that was
2:57
caught on a line by Fetty that was
2:59
fortuitous for the Cardinals runner at
3:01
third two outs so Neil Cruz ahead in the
3:04
count this guy has enormous talent he's
3:06
got 15 homers ground ball to the second
3:09
baseman backing up on it saji throws and
3:12
just out at first O'Neal Cruz so JC was
3:16
about five feet out on the right field
3:17
grass and Cruz can fly one- nothing kids
3:21
fired up they know we're going to win
3:23
big oh they're playing the bongos that's
3:25
what they're doing here's the pitch to
3:26
Contrarus to swing highf fly ball left
3:30
field toward the corner fam with room
3:32
and now it's tailing all the way into
3:35
foul territory along the left field line
3:37
but Fam there to make the catch and
3:39
Contrarus flies out one away tommy
3:41
disappeared from our view down there the
3:43
left field line we couldn't tell the
3:44
fans let us know though with a little
3:46
bit of wind going from right to left
3:48
kept pushing that ball I think toward
3:50
the stands oh look they were saying it's
3:52
his birthday baseball yeah good job
3:55
birthday and Brian Reynolds yeah
3:57
birthday ball birthday gift they're
4:00
fired up that's a great shot that is
4:02
awesome nolan Gorman hit a three-run
4:05
homer in the first inning yesterday
4:06
helping the Cardinals on the way to a
4:08
sweep in Cleveland
4:10
struck him out and he strikes out Norman
4:13
to end the top of the second pedro Pahes
4:16
is coming up 221 hitter right-handed
4:18
batter six home runs for the Cardinals
4:22
and struck him out that's the third for
4:25
Heene first strike out looking this was
4:27
a a sweeper slider he drops down a
4:30
little bit Heene does and just catches
4:32
the bottom he's varying his arm angles
4:34
more than usual tonight victor four for
4:36
his last eight he has six bunt hits for
4:39
the Cardinals and eight infield hits how
4:42
about ending each of the three innings
4:43
with a strikeout he's been very
4:45
effective today and Nick Gonzalez will
4:48
lead it off o'neal Cruz and then Kee
4:49
Ryan Hayes facing Eric Fetty to right
4:52
center victor's on the run he's going to
4:55
make a great running leaping catch on
4:58
the warning track man did he cover some
5:01
ground it stayed in the air forever and
5:03
Scott's great speed takes away an extra
5:05
base hit how about the strides out in
5:07
center field the leaping catch on the
5:10
track nice play there by Big Heene
5:12
rolling along and the pitch swing and a
5:15
fly ball center field cruz coming on and
5:17
it'll be the short stop kinder Fippa to
5:20
backtrack and make the catch the
5:22
Cardinals still hitless through five
5:24
julie Bart leads off the Pirates
5:28
and there's a base hit and that is the
5:31
first hit since Reynolds followed the
5:34
McCutchen double which followed the
5:36
Horwitz homer kinder Falefa with a bunt
5:40
and the bare hand and the throw and in
5:42
the dirt and safe
5:44
that'll be a bunt hit for Ker Falefa
5:48
nolan Gorman at third not Aronado yeah
5:51
Gorman's not really all that deep he's
5:53
probably about three steps behind the
5:55
baseline a good throw would have
5:58
probably had him but it it would have it
6:00
would have taken a That ball sticks his
6:02
glove he still gets him much better
6:04
efforts to to get him out though horiz
6:07
homerred today oritz a 24th round pick
6:10
by the Blue Jays out of Radford
6:12
University
6:14
and hits this hard to left and this is
6:16
going to travel over the head of Brendan
6:18
Donovan and this will score a couple of
6:21
runs
6:23
spencer Horowitz is the Pirates leadoff
6:27
hitter homer and a two-run double and a
6:32
three nothing lead
6:34
a great job of driving the ball the
6:36
other way a slider and he's he's waiting
6:38
back he's not trying to be too
6:40
aggressive and they knew that it was
6:42
going to be up against the fence so he's
6:44
off to the races all the way from first
6:46
base and no play on him the next time up
6:48
Reynolds grounded out to Wilson Contras
6:52
that is smoked into center field fourth
6:55
hit of the inning second hit of the
6:56
night for Reynolds you know something
6:58
has been happening here at home this
7:00
week the way they're barreling the balls
7:03
up there's been way more balls hit just
7:05
like Reynolds just hit that one right on
7:07
the money line drives and there's a line
7:09
drive base hit right field just what
7:11
you're talking about but Cuten scores
7:15
nick Gonzalez an RBI double four nothing
7:18
Pirates yesterday's game the home run
7:22
ball played a big part but in the other
7:24
ones it was more of this kind of stuff
7:27
hitting the ball hard spraying around
7:29
the field finding some chalk lines
7:30
getting some gaps here is Krian Hayes
7:34
the Pirates hottest hitter coming into
7:36
this game and a line drive base hit into
7:39
center field key Brian Hayes another
7:42
two-run single this is unbelievable yeah
7:46
I think what is going on it's six to
7:48
nothing
7:50
that's just you know more of what we
7:53
were talking about I think earlier in
7:54
the was it in the open about how when
7:57
Hayes gets in that groove he's the type
7:59
of guy that can carry your offense for a
8:01
while cuz he does things like this gives
8:03
him a nineame hitting streak and there's
8:06
a base hit for Tommy Fam
8:09
it is 7 nothing Pirates
8:12
this is amazing just hit after this is
8:16
after hit amazing after hit after hit
8:19
especially in in the more of the the
8:22
more modern game of baseball when you
8:24
see these numbers up on the scoreboard
8:26
you're thinking "Oh there must have hit
8:27
a ton of home runs." That's not the way
8:29
they're doing it now the other side of
8:33
this story is Andrew Heaney struck him
8:36
out got a chase that is five living on
8:40
the edges isn't he tonight great pitches
8:45
struck him out six Ks this is the
8:48
longest bid so far in his career
8:50
previous was five innings September 19th
8:53
2015 when he was with the Angels how
8:56
about the location of that pitch and got
8:57
a swing chin high at least yeah
9:00
left-handed ready they had the pitch
9:02
swinging a liner into left that's
9:04
dropping down for a base hit and so
9:06
that's that for a no hit bid five and
9:09
two/3 tonight
9:12
savvy Pirate fans recognizing Andrew
9:14
Heene well not just Pirate fans i'm
9:16
looking down and there's a lot of
9:17
Cardinals fans that are giving him a
9:19
round of applause for his nice job
9:20
through these first six plus innings
9:24
got him on that sinking fast seven
9:28
strikeouts for Andrew Heeney one hit 7
9:31
nothing Pirates does Don Kelly decide to
9:34
let Heene try and finish off this inning
9:38
but unfortunately
9:40
the base hit might end his night he'll
9:42
still get a great ovation as Contrarus
9:44
rips it and now a chance to get him at
9:46
first almost oh I don't know i don't
9:48
know i I want to look at this almost
9:52
tommy Fam gunned it to Gonzalez and then
9:54
to Horowitz very close at first base and
9:58
he gets back yeah missed the Those fans
10:01
had stuck out the long rain delay
10:03
they're already standing
10:06
what a job by the veteran Andrew Hean
10:09
chase Sugar tries to finish it off reset
10:12
the bullpen now with Sugar going the
10:14
rest of the way today how incredible
10:16
would it be if he were be able to finish
10:18
his game you only used two pitchers chop
10:21
to the right side
10:24
the longest streak of wins by seven or
10:27
more runs by the Pirates since 1925
10:31
they raise the Jolly Rodger on a seven
10:35
nothing shut out of the Cardinals
