Texas Rangers All-Star catcher Jonah Heim got brutally honest on the team’s lineup after defeating the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
The Rangers earned a 3-2 victory over the Royals. Kansas City jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before the Rangers answered with a pair of runs in the eighth and ninth inning. The game ultimately went to extra innings before Texas broke through with a third run in the 10th. The Rangers held the lead in the bottom of the 10th and picked up an impressive come-from-behind road win.
Some lineups may lose hope after failing to score any runs through seven innings. The defending World Series champs, though, never give up. They feature a powerful offensive attack and are more than capable of recording lopsided wins. Even in games where offense is a struggle, the Rangers can still find ways to get the job done.
All-Star catcher Jonah Heim, who crushed a game-tying home run in the 9th inning, made an intriguing admission about the Rangers lineup following Monday’s victory.
“There’s no quit in this lineup,” Heim said, via Bally Sports Southwest. “You may have us for the first eight or nine innings but we’re gonna come out, we’re gonna give you our best at-bats. One through nine can leave the yard at anytime.”
After Heim tied the game in the 9th inning, Nathaniel Lowe gave Texas a 3-2 lead in the 10th with an RBI single. There is no question that this Rangers lineup is talented.
