Marlon Byrd wins Hernia Shoestring Catch of the Month

Derek Holland took a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning and Michael Young hit two of Texas' five home runs, leading the Rangers over the Mariners 7-1 Thursday.

The Rangers trail, 2-1, headed to the top of the fifth. Padilla has been ok, save for the 2-run shot he gave up in the first to Jose Lopez. Rangers got a run back in the second on Taylor Teagarden's bases-loaded sac fly. Rangers wasted a chance in bottom of fourth when Nellie Cruz was hit by pitch (actually his uniform top was hit by a pitch) leading off but was thrown out trying...

The Rangers, behind the brilliance of Derek Holland, gained a 1/2 game on the Angels with the win. Rangers are 3 back of LAA in the AL West. It was a good way to rebound after getting beat up by the Tigers on Wednesday. Click here to watch a replay of Thursday's in-game chat. Discuss: • Derek Holland.

What's been the key to turning it around? You always believe in yourself. I know I don't have the stuff I used to have, but I believe that when I'm out there, I do have enough. I've...

He's slated to throw an inning tonight for the RoughRiders in San Antonio. He must have caught a late flight because he was still in the Texas clubhouse at 4 p.m.

Rangers brass has a day and some change to find a deal before the non-waiver trade deadline at 3 p.m. Friday to help fortify the Rangers for the stretch run, but Jon Daniels and crew will have to find away to remove the financial shackles that are making their task more difficult. The Phillies will pay the rest of Cliff Lee's salary this season, around $2 million. Philadelphia traded...

Derek Holland wasn’t going anywhere, and, apparently, Roy Halladay had no plans for Arlington.

In two words: not much. Toronto continues to demand "two left legs, a right arm and a left cerebellum" according to Marlins president David Samson. The Texas Rangers still appear to be the frontrunners in the Halladay sweepstakes, but continue to balk at the price tag. They may have the prospects and the cash to acquire him, but as of yet, not ownership approval. MLB Rumors suggest...
