Jonah Heim’s major league debut will end with at least one souvenir after he got his first hit during the A’s game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night with a line drive single to left field.

His dad James couldn’t be more proud:

OMG... The whole neighborhood knows!!!! Congrats son. #HeimTime https://t.co/CgK4MaShZ6

The single advanced Tony Kemp to third base in a very productive seventh inning in which the A's would score five runs to take a 10-3 lead over the Rangers.
