Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory over the Pirates.

Pederson homered for the second consecutive game, bringing his season total up to 13. The young slugger has looked a lot more like the strong power threat we saw in his first two major-league seasons. He's posting career-best marks in batting average (.266) and slugging percentage (.562) while maintaining strong on-base skills (.346). Pederson is currently situated on the strong side of a platoon in center field and also mans the leadoff spot in starts against right-handed pitchers.
