We got the pitching duel as expected on Thursday, and Andrew Heaney made sure this one ended up in the Angels’ favor with seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over a powerful Padres offense.
Heaney might not have been quite as dominant as when he pitched into the eighth with 10 strikeouts last Friday against Seattle, factoring in the opponent on Thursday his seven scoreless frames might be even more impressive.
The left-hander struck out six and induced 15 swinging strikes, his second-highest total of the year. Heaney allowed only three singles and two walks.
