Pederson went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Astros.
Pederson's homer in the sixth inning was his 20th of the season and marked his return to the 20-homer club. This is the seventh time in 12 seasons he's reached that threshold and comes after the low point of his career in 2025, when he hit just nine home runs with a career-low .613 OPS.
