Baseballs were flying all over the ballpark as the Texas Rangers ran roughshod
over the seemingly hapless Detroit Tigers.  The Texas offense rolled up a
total of 13 runs!.
 
Derek Holland(1-0) was credited with the win in a less than impressive
performance.  He gave up 10 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings and was touched for
3 homeruns.  Texas banged out 11 hits on the night.  
 
Anibal Sanchez(0-1) absorbed the loss.  He allowed Texas 10 runs in 5 and 1/3
innings of work.
