WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson ended an 0-for-41 slump with a double in the ninth inning at the Athletics on Wednesday night.
Pederson was out of the starting lineup to start the game but entered as a pinch-hitter in the final frame of a 5-2 loss. He drove a pitch off closer Mason Miller over the head of center fielder JJ Bleday that he stretched into a double.
Pederson had been approaching Chris Davis’ major league-record skid of 0 for 54. Pederson’s slump was noteworthy partly because he signed a two-year, $37 million contract with Texas in the offseason and had struggled mightily in the first month of the season.
