EDGE Analysis

Pederson began his night with a solo home run off Zebby Matthews on Matthews' second pitch of the game. It was Pederson's first homer since Aug. 31 and just his second extra-base hit over that span. Pederson remained in the leadoff spot and could stay there the rest of the week when there's a right-hander on the mound. The Rangers are currently slated to face four more righties this week.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson batted leadoff for just the second time this season. He got on base in his first two plate appearances and scored after walking in the third inning. Josh Smith, who normally leads off for Texas, was dropped to sixth in the order. It's unclear if manager Bruce Bochy plans to continue using Pederson atop the order against right-handed pitching, or if this was a one-off decision.

The Rangers are finally getting what they paid for when they signed Pederson to a one-year, $18.5 million contract this past winter with a player option for 2026 -- he's slashing .277/.338/.554 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 23 contests in August.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson laced a first-pitch double to drive in the game-winning run in the ninth inning for the walk-off win.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson went deep in the fourth inning to give Texas a 2-1 lead. The homer was his third in 21 games since he returned from a hand injury in late July. It's been a forgettable season for the slugger, who opened 2025 with an epic slump (.052 average over his first 20 games) and never recovered. Prior to the injury, Pederson was batting .131, and since his return, he's batting .196.
