Mario Hollands takes loss in first career appearance

Phillies pitcher Mario Hollands made his major-league debut Tuesday, walking two batters and being charged with one earned run while recording just one out and taking the loss in his team's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Hollands pitched at high Class A and Double-A last season, combining for a 7-3 record, 2.86 ERA and 114:32 K:BB ratio in 132 innings over 27 appearances (20 starts). With a 27.00 ERA after one major-league game, it should only get better from here.
