The offense has teed off on Rays pitching, and Derek Holland has had only one difficult inning as the Rangers lead 7-4. He is back out for the sixth after allowing a three-run homer to Dioner Navarro in the fifth. Holland enters the sixth having thrown 80 pitches. Jason Grilli is warmed up and ready to go if needed this frame. -- Jeff Wilson
