Rangers starter Derek Holland (4-3) tossed 6 1/3 innings in a win over the Angels on Thursday, giving up three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six.
In his first outing of October, Holland did what he hadn't done since his first outing of September -- he posted a quality start. In the prior four games, Holland had been bombarded for 21 runs on 33 hits, so this was quite the turnaround. It's unclear whether that effort will guarantee him a playoff start, though, considering that Holland's second consecutive injury-shortened regular season ended with a 4.91 ERA and 1.30 WHIP.
