Holland has tunnel vision in Game 4



Texas lefty Derek Holland showed the baseball world his version of tunnel vision tonight in Arlington as he led the Rangers to a 4-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the World Series.

And was he ever focused! Holland carved out a two-hit shutout and pitched 8 1/3 innings, while striking out seven Rangers and walking just two. A 3-run homer in the sixth inning by Texas catcher Mike Napoli -- his second of the series -- was the big blow for the Rangers as they square the Fall Classic at two games apiece. What a turnaround from Game 3. And I was wrong about the Rangers pitching around Sir Albert. Holland went right after him. Pujols goes 0-4 and no walks!
