Holland lifts Texas for fourth straight decisionTORONTO – Derek Holland pitched a four-hitter to win his fourth straight decision, leading Texas to a 3-0 victory Saturday against Toronto. Holland (10-4) reached double digits in victories for the first time and improved to 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA since losing to Florida on July 2. The left-hander, who walked one and struck out five, leads the AL with four shutouts this season and is tied with Philadelphia left-hander Cliff Lee for the major league lead. Mitch Moreland and Mike Napoli homered for the Rangers. Brad Mills (0-1) matched a career high by lasting seven innings in his first start of the season for Toronto. He allowed two runs and six hits. Colby Rasmus went 0 for 4 and is 0 for 12 with a walk in three games since being traded to Toronto on Wednesday. Angels 5, Tigers 1: Dan Haren pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game against the Detroit Tigers in 25 days, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a victory. Haren (11-6) walked one and struck out one while improving to 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA in two starts against the Tigers this season. The Tigers announced before the game that Jacob Turner (0-1) would return to the minors after the game, with his rotation spot going to Doug Fister. Fister and reliever David Pauley were acquired from the Mariners in a six-player trade earlier Saturday, and Fister is scheduled to start Wednesday against Texas. Mariners 3, Rays 2: Rookie Michael Pineda had a career-high 10 strikeouts, Dustin Ackley homered, doubled and scored twice, and Seattle won for just the second time in 20 games. Pineda (9-7) pitched 6-1/3 innings of one-hit ball, and Jeff Gray and Brandon League combined to finish the one-hitter. League earned his 24th save. Mike Carp hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth inning, helping Seattle win at home for the first time since July 3 – although the Mariners spent most of the month on the road. Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb (3-1) struck out a career-high nine in 61/3 innings, but was handed his first major league loss. In other games it was: Yankees 8, Orioles 3, 1st game and Yankees 17, Orioles 3, 2nd game; Indians 5, Royals 2; Red Sox 10, White Sox 2.
