Texas Rangers All-Star catcher Jonah Heim<\/a> got brutally honest on the team’s lineup after defeating the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“There’s no quit in this lineup,” Heim said, via Bally Sports Southwest<\/a>. “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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After Heim tied the game in the 9th inning, Nathaniel Lowe<\/a> gave Texas a 3-2 lead in the 10th with an RBI single. There is no question that this Rangers lineup is talented.<\/p>\n

Jonah Heim TIME after today’s win!
