Heston allowed just one hit over two scoreless innings in Sunday's 13-2 Cactus League win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Heston is still a long shot to make the big league club coming out of spring training, but outings like Sunday's certainly help boost whatever small chance he may have. Although his more likely destination to kick off the 2017 campaign remains Triple-A Tacoma, the Mariners are expected to give him ample opportunity to state his case for a major league spot this spring.
