The Pirates blanked the Diamondbacks 2–0 on Saturday night, and the NS9 crew was here for all of it. Oneil Cruz delivered the big swing with a two-run homer, but the story of the night was Andrew Heaney. In what’s almost certainly his final start as a Pirate, Heaney dominated one of the NL’s best offenses—just days before the trade deadline.
We broke down Heaney’s season arc, how inconsistent he’s been since June, and what this final outing might mean for his trade value. Will contenders trust him for meaningful innings down the stretch?
Bryan Reynolds continues his struggles, while Dennis Santana quietly continued his strong stretch of relief work with another scoreless frame.
We discuss which teams might actually pursue Heaney, how much stock they’ll put into this outing, and if the Pirates can get anything of substance back.
