ARLINGTON, Texas — The Rangers picked a fine time to score 20 runs.

Texas throttled the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night, slugging four homers in a 20-3 win. The Rangers' recent surge might not matter much; they're still six games out of first place in the American League West and four and a half games out of a Wild Card spot. And their top pitcher, Nathan Eovaldi, is likely done for the season .

But Wednesday night's efforts, and those of the current homestand as a whole, might have reminded us, if nothing else, that Joc Pederson still has a pulse. He homered in the rout and has a .787 OPS since returning from injury on July 27.
