Heim’s 3-run bomb took the Rangers to 6 runs and helped them ensure the victory. Although it may not make up for the incorrectly overturned call, the catcher got his revenge. Furthermore, this is not the first time this month that the Texas-based team is on the wrong side of an umpire’s call.

The Rangers faced three ejections earlier this month because of an umpire’s call
It was the seventh inning, and Rangers infielder Marcus Semien was at the plate. Los Angeles Angels pitcher Chris Devenski threw a low changeup, but Semien checked his swing. The umpire disregarded that and ruled him out. When protesting the call, Semien was ejected, closely followed by his pitching coach Mike Maddux and manager Bruce Bochy. It was a crucial moment that cost the Rangers three ejections and the game, as they lost 5-3 from there.
