ARLINGTON — Joc Pederson homered in the sixth inning, and Brandon Nimmo made a game-saving throw from right field in the ninth for the Texas Rangers, who earned their third consecutive win in a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. It was the fewest hits for the Rangers in a victory this season. Tyler Alexander (3-2) allowed a hit in two-thirds of an inning of relief as Texas posted its 19th comeback victory.
