The Houston Astros put together a solid game behind Collin McHugh on Wednesday night, and in Triple-A, their affiliate the Fresno Grizzlies made sure that Angels’ top prospect Andrew Heaney made his dinner reservations. Heaney was acquired by the Angels from the Marlins (with about a two hour layover as a Dodger) and followed up his seven inning, two-hit performance against Sacramento with two-thirds of an inning against Fresno. In that 2/3, Heaney allowed seven runs (four earned) on six hits, a walk and a strikeout.
The damage was done by Fresno on a slew of consecutive singles, with the runners going from first to third each time, exactly how the Angels were successful in the early 2000s.
