Spencer Horwitz News: Scores twice in loss

Horwitz went 1-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Rockies.

Horwitz reached base twice in the first inning, leading off the game with a single and then walking in his second plate appearance while coming around to score on both occasions. He's swung the bat well since the All-Star break, going 15-for-47 with one home run, nine RBI and six runs scored across 13 games. Horwitz looks likely to remain Pittsburgh's leadoff hitter against righties while sitting against most lefties.
