Jonah Heim did it again. With the Athletics down to their final out in what was shaping to be another frustrating defeat in which they lost an early lead, who else but Heim came to the rescue with a game-tying RBI single. Heim’s heroics set the table for a four-run rally in the top of the ninth to lift the A’s to a dramatic come-from-behind 9-6 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park to snap a four-game losing skid. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Heim since the A’s reacquired him in a trade with the Braves last month, it’s that the clutch gene runs strong in him. Before Thursday, the A’s previous win last week was also the product of Heim slugging a game-tying two-run homer with two outs in the ninth to send it to extras. Earlier this month, Heim also crushed a game-tying two-run homer with two outs in a wild extra-inning loss to the Brewers at Las Vegas Ballpark. “All he does is get big hits,” said A’s right fielder Lawrence Butler, who followed Heim’s big knock with a go-ahead RBI single of his own. “If it’s the ninth inning and we need the winning run or tying run, I’m picking Jonah right now. That’s all he does is come through for us. He’s been big all year.” Whether “clutch hitting” is a real thing has long been a debate amongst baseball analysts. Whatever side you lean on, there is something to be said about being able to come through in critical situations, something Heim often did with the Rangers during their run to a 2023 World Series championship and has done so a few times now back with the A’s. “This is a guy that has been in those big moments and played in the World Series,” manager Mark Kotsay said. “That factors into taking an at-bat in that moment and understanding the way to slow the game down. It’s been big for us to have him here. Not just from that standpoint, but what he’s done with \[catcher Shea Langeliers\
