However, he was able to turn that around with a solid bounce-back performance against the San Diego Padres, going 5 2\/3, allowing five hits and just two runs, while striking out three.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\">At first glance, it seemed as if the venom Heaney took from the snakes carried onto his start in San Diego, allowing a first-inning home run to Manny Machado. However, that lead lasted for about five minutes, when Randy Vasquez took a beating on the mound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\">The offense got off to a hot start in the third, posting three runs thanks to a history-making two-run home run from Andrew McCutchen. With that cannonball, he tied Roberto Clemente for third on the Pirates\u2019 all-time home runs list with No. 240.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pirates-blow-late-lead-fall-to-padres-mccutchen-ties-clemente\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pirates-blow-late-lead-fall-to-padres-mccutchen-ties-clemente\/\">Click here to read more from PGHBaseballNOW.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 hOiAJc body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92025 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO \u2014 This article originally appeared on PGHBaseballNOW.com.
