Rangers' Joc Pederson: Homers in Wednesday's loss
Pederson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the White Sox.

Pederson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.
Pederson opened the game by taking Ryan Johnson deep for his seventh leadoff homer and 22nd long ball of the season.

The strategy paid off, as Texas managed only two runs in the loss. Pederson is now one homer shy of matching his highest single-season total since 2020. Through 108 games this season, he owns an .854 OPS

Pederson has hit safely in his last six games, going 10-for-23 (.435) in that span.
