HP - Holbrook, 1B - Drake, 2B - Barber, 3B - Blaser

A quality start may not seem like all that much for a major leaguer pitcher to be proud of, but it carries some weight for Derek Holland considering how far he's come.
A rough 2015 seems to be in the rear view for the Texas Rangers left-hander, who is coming off a solid outing ahead of facing the Toronto Blue Jays in Thursday night's finale of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.

Rangers-Blue Jays Preview

TORONTO (AP)  In a game where runs were at a premium, Justin Smoak's first two home runs of the season couldn't have come at a better time.
Trailing throughout Tuesday night's game against the Texas Rangers following Rougned Odor's first career lead-off home run on Marco Estrada's second pitch of the game, the Toronto Blue Jays first baseman stepped up in the bottom of the ninth. He promptly tied the game with a solo shot over the scoreboard in left-centerfield off closer Shawn Tolleson, before winning it one inning later with a two-run shot to left off Phil Klein (0-1) as the Blue Jays beat the Rangers 3-1.
