2♥: Push the brakes lest you get smashed. Such a misfit in ♠ means a high likelihood of much wasted value in ♠ with your partner in your ♥ contract. Now it is still possible that the wasted values will be your ♥s in a ♦ contract but it is hard to imagine succeeding in 5♦. Just expect 2♥ to be the final call and barely succeed when partner eventually brings you 2 cards in ♥.
