Andrew Heaney was tagged for eight runs — seven earned — in three innings by the Nationals on Saturday.
For what it’s worth, of the three homers he allowed, one was a homer in about half of major league parks and another was a homer in only a quarter of stadiums. Still, Heaney gave up mostly hard contact today and paid a heavy price. That’s part of the deal with him. He’s allowed at least six runs four times already, leaving him with a 4.71 ERA. However, he’s been solid enough the rest of the time that the Rangers have managed to go 9-8 in his starts.
