Heston struck out five and walked one while giving up one run on five hits over 6.1 innings against the Angels on Friday night. He did not factor in the decision. Heston's command is still inconsistent from inning to inning, but he's avoided major damage in four of his starts, with the only real blemish coming at Coors Field. Heston is effectively eating innings for the Giants, but his peripherals (7.0 K/9, 18.9% K%, 2.0 BB/9, 5.3%) are actually an improvement over his marks at Triple-A last season, so it would hardly be surprising to see him take a step back as the league gets another look at him in the coming weeks. Heston will face the Padres in a home start Wednesday for his next turn in the rotation.
