Great win for the Rangers especially against a stud ace like Halladay. McCarthy with a quality start and just needs to work on his out pitch to go to the next level. Cruz and Kinsler are killing the ball right now and big Frank is really enjoying that closers role.

Good and bad in this game

Good:
Holland 2 1/3 innings that kept the Rangers in the game.
Eyre also looked good for his inning
Young game tying home run in the 9th
Kinsler's steal of third
Bad:

Matt Harrison is really having a rough time hope he finds it soon
Blalock is still struggling
The rangers ran out of pitchers tonight hope Kevin goes another 8 or 9 innings Thursday.

i hate suddenlink, you dont get many games on tv due to this crappy cable service in stillwater, so im forced to listen to the radio feed (since mlb audio is only 15 bucks and they dont block you out of games like mlbtv) i wish i couldve seen holland.

i suspect holland is going to the rotation soon, especially since harrison's got crappy control and is scared to throw strikes (at least benson attacks hitters) he and murphy could use a visit to tripleA
