Willits, R: 2-4
Pride: 0-1, 3 BB
Kendrick, H: 1-4
Gorneault: 0-3, 1 RBI
Mathis, J: 0-4
Eylward: 0-4
Heaverlo: (L, 0-1), 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 6.75 ERA
Jones: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 4.56 ERA
The Angels needed somebody to pitch in Jered Weaver's rotation spot, so they signed a former Seattle farmhand, 28-year-old Jeff Heaverlo. Heaverlo (possibly the son of major leaguer Dave?) was a first-round draft pick for the M's in 1999; U.S.S. Mariner's summary of the team's medical woes mentions that Heaverlo tore his labrum early in 2002 and had shoulder muscle troubles in 2004. Over a seven year career in the M's minor leagues, Heaverlo had a 4.12 career ERA with a 8.03 K/9 and a 2.73 K/BB ratio, alhough for his last full season (2005), those numbers were more like 4.61 ERA, 7.79 K/9, and 1.75 K/BB. He's generally struck out twice as many or more than he's walked, but he gets hit often, with a career 1.38 WHIP. He appeared in the Mariners spring training roster but did poorly; it's unclear whether he was cut or asked for and was cheerfully granted minor league free agency.

The offense clearly missed Kendry Morales, as they weren't able to get any traction off Las Vegas starter William Juarez, who threw a four-hit, one-run complete game.

Alvarez, C: 2.0 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 4.94 ERA
T.J. Nall was one of the Vegas starters last year who spent most of his time getting knocked around, so this year he's trying to prove he belongs in AAA. Tonight's game was a strong indicator he could get the callup, pitching six innings of shutout ball with eight strikeouts besides. Justin Ruggiano homered with a 2-3 night and a walk; Hu had a perfect night at the plate, though it was cut short by a pinch-hitting appearance by Jimmy Rohan.

Pimentel: (L, 0-3) (in relief), 2.2 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 5 K, 3 BB, 3.86 ERA
A 2-2 tie into extra innings, when Julio Pimentel blew the save by giving up a bases-loaded walk to Ambiorix Concepcion. Not quite enough offense to get it done, but a good night for Blake Dewitt, and an otherwise fine job by Blake Johnson, who gave up two unearned runs on David Nicholson's error in the first.

James McDonald pitched an excellent game, four-hitting the Braves while striking out nine and walking only one. Francisco Felix, whose contract appears to have been purchased from the Mexican Leagues at some point this season, blew the save in the eighth by giving up a bases-loaded single to Lucas May.

Comments:
As a matter of fact yes. Jeff is the son of Former Mariner Reliever Dave Heaverlo according to one of my old Baseball America Prospect books. Your analysis has basically been his entire career, even in the third year of his career where he was showing promise prior to his labrum tear.
