About 1 minute reading time. WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson 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.
