Rangers Facing Joc Pederson Decision After Bruce Bochy's Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas Rangers dropped their weekend series against the Seattle Mariners, but they remain in the hunt for a postseason berth, sitting at 58–55 and just two games back of the third Wild Card spot.

The Texas Rangers won their most recent series with the New York Yankees. Here is the good and the not-so-good from the three-game set that wrapped up on Wednesday.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton hit his 439th career home run, a two-run shot to dead center that left the bat at 115 mph, off of right-hander Jon Gray in the top of the fourth inning. Gray, in his fourth game back from a broken wrist, buckled down after Stanton’s home run to pitch five innings of two-run ball and keep the Rangers within a run.
