 In a 12-game hitting streak that spanned from June 13 – 27, Heyward batted .455 (20-for-44) and homered four times. One hit during that streak was a single on June 16 against the Baltimore Orioles that ended Jason Hammel's no-hit bid in the seventh inning to leave him a one-hit complete game shutout in the Orioles' 5 – 0 victory. Heyward's home run in an 8 – 2 defeat of the Marlins on July 30 helped end Atlanta's streak of 16 losses on Mondays.
