Baseball is a business, and the Texas Rangers know that as much as anyone, especially given their trade deadline actions.
But baseball can also be a lot of fun, and even Team Tank should get something to celebrate once in a while. And after a roller coaster July, Rangers catcher Jonah Heim made sure the month ended with a flourish by hitting a walk-off, two-run homer to defeat the Seattle Mariners 5-4 in extras on the night after the trade deadline.
