Heasley pitched 5.1 scoreless innings Saturday against Detroit, giving up three hits and two walks with three strikeouts. He did not factor in the decision.
It was a much-improved effort from Heasley, who surrendered four runs in four innings during his MLB debut eight days earlier. Heasley limited the Tigers to a double and a pair of singles Saturday and pitched into the sixth inning before a one-out walk to Daz Cameron ended his day. Heasley has just five strikeouts through his first 9.1 innings, but he has almost certainly earned one more start this season, tentatively scheduled for next Friday against Minnesota.
