EDGE Analysis

Heim's fourth-inning homer accounted for all the offense, as the Rangers went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. The solo shot extended his hitting streak to three games, during which he's 4-for-12 with two home runs. It's a sign of life from a bat that produced an .070 batting average (3-for-43) over the 14 games preceding his hit streak.

EDGE Analysis

Heim went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 9-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Heim had a strong start to the season and held up well when a Mitch Garver (forearm) injury forced him into an everyday job at catcher. His fortunes, however, have turned since the break; Heim's batting just .183 in the second half and has two hits over the last 36 at-bats. He eclipsed his previous MLB career high in plate appearances in late July and is now up to 387 for the season, which could partially explain the diminished production.
