Making his first start since Sept. 4, Andrew Heaney tossed 4 1/3 scoreless frames against the Mariners on Saturday.
Heaney came up big as the Rangers clinched a postseason berth tonight, potentially putting himself in position to make starts in October. Of course, he didn’t get the win tonight, so he remained 10-6 with a 4.15 ERA. He’s been the pitcher the Rangers should have expected him to be when they signed him to a two-year, $25 million deal; they just arguably had better options for a time.
