EDGE Analysis

It was a marked departure from Heston's only appearance with the big-league club this season, an April 25 outing in which he yielded five earned runs on seven hits and a walk over two innings against the Tigers. The 29-year-old right-hander figures to continue providing Tacoma's rotation with an experienced presence for the time being, although any injuries to the Mariners' rotation could eventually prompt another move up later this season.
