Andrew Heaney allows only one hit, Angels need only one run to beat Royals

Andrew Heaney pitched a one-hitter on his 27th birthday to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 1-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

Heaney only allowed a single to Hunter Dozier with one out in the fifth and needed 116 pitches to pitch his first complete game.

Heaney (3-4) hit Jon Jay to start the game, then retired 13 consecutive batters.

Brad Keller (1-2) allowed allowed just one run on five hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Albert Pujols was out of the lineup Tuesday for a day off. Shohei Ohtani wasn't in the lineup since he is pitching Wednesday and doesn't bat the day before or after his starts.
