Twins Continue Skid Thanks to Pederson, Rangers
The Texas Rangers topped the Minnesota Twins by the score of 7-2, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Joc Pederson. Pederson went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Rangers. The losses continue to mount for Minnesota, which has now dropped 6 in a row.

With Texas leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Pederson hit a fastball from Jameson Taillon for a 2-run home run. It was his 21st home run of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 3-0.

"It feels good to get this one," Pederson told the Texas Daily News.
