The Texas Rangers topped the Houston Astros, 9-7, with left fielder Joc Pederson playing a big role. Pederson went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Rangers in the win. Will Harris earned the save for Texas, his 2nd of the year. The Rangers, now 3-1, have hit the ground running this season.

Andrelton Simmons, who is a four-time Great Glove Award winner, aided the Texas cause with a bases-clearing triple in the bottom of the third. For the game, the shortstop went 1 for 4 with a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Pederson said.
