Squares R6C1 and R6C9 in row 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <58>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C5 - removing <8> from <138> leaving <13>

R6C7 - removing <58> from <1258> leaving <12>
