Heisey was not in the starting lineup Sunday but entered the game in the top of the 10th inning to play right field, going 2-for-3 with a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 16th, his second home run of the season.

EDGE Analysis

See if you can follow the improbable chain of events that led to Heisey's walk-off heroics. Bryce Harper pinch-hit for Michael Taylor in the ninth and tied the game with his own solo shot, but manager Dusty Baker has promised Harper the day off and so put Heisey in his place to begin the 10th. Because of that, however, the Nats ran out of position players, forcing Oliver Perez to hit for himself in the 15th, at which point Perez laid down a bunt with two outs and Danny Espinosa on second. Twins catcher John Ryan Murphy threw the ball over Joe Mauer's head at first base, Espinosa scored to tie the game at 5-5, and the stage was set for Heisey in the 16th. He's now hitting .250/.348/.550 in 20 at-bats to begin the season, and with Taylor struggling at the plate, Heisey could see an uptick in playing time in the short term, but if you pick him up don't expect anything more than a low batting average and occasional power.
