FRISCO, Texas - Former Riders pitcher Pedro Payano made his Major League debut with the Rangers Saturday afternoon.

The righty threw a scoreless sixth inning for the Rangers in Minnesota Saturday, just hours after having his contract selected by Texas. Payano began the 2019 season with the Riders and went 3-1 with a 4.43 in eight starts before earning a promotion to Triple-A Nashville. The 24-year-old also pitched with the Riders in 2017 and 2018.

Payano is the 158th former Riders player to make his Major League debut and the ninth this season.

The Riders are back for seven games at Dr Pepper Ballpark Monday, July 8-Sunday, July 14. Tickets for those games and all remaining regular-season home games - running now through August 25 - are available at RidersBaseball.com.
