End the slump! Pedersen knocks out the Ranger coach: Happy for him

The Texas Rangers visited the Oakland Athletics today and lost 2-5, but the team's heavy gunner Joc Pederson finally broke his 41-game streak without hits and hit a second base in the first half of the ninth inning, showing resilience in key moments and making head coach Bruce Bochy cheer for him.

The batting was Pederson's first since April 2, and he faced Mason Miller, who was breaking 100 balls, and decisively hit the ball into the midfield, successfully forming a second base hit, ending a nearly month-long period of out-of-fire and temporarily relieving the pressure of setting the longest streak without hits in team history.

The previous all-time record of 39 hits without a hitter was held by Justin Foscue, who is currently in triple-A, while Pedersen pushed the record to 41. While it's still some way shy of the big league record holder Chris Davis' 54, it's a big challenge for him.

Pochi said after the game that Pedersen is experienced and knows that the low tide is only part of baseball, and praised him for maintaining a positive attitude in difficult situations and being an important spiritual pillar for the team, "He is always the first person to cheer for the team, and I believe that this hit will bring him back to his rhythm and help the team win."
