heath hit just .205 during his 65 game stay in saint louis.  in august of 1986, the cardinals sent heath to detroit for ken hill.  back in the american league, heath managed a .265 average over 30 games and matched the four home runs he had hit in saint louis over a longer period of time.  interestingly enough, heath faced andujar twice in 1986, and was 1 for 2 with a strikeout against him.
