Derek Holland for 8 innings was pure money fanning nine, walking one, and scattering 6 hits. Only 1 batter reached second base on his watch. Holland (2-2) was aided by an 18 hit team performance. Holland's efforts were duly noted by Ron Washington post game.
In 1931 he amassed 184 RBIs in a season. Still the American League record (Hack Wilson 190 Chicago Cubs in the N.L.). 1927 while Babe Ruth cranked out 60 home runs, Lou himself had 47. Setting the standard for career grand slams with 23 and 493 career homers.
March and April have been pretty memorable. Here's to May, and a twinbill in four days beginning May 8th! While the Eastern Conference is in a 4 way scramble for 1st place with New York, KC, Montreal, and the Dynamo FCDallas sits all alone with a sizeable lead in the West at 6-1-2.
