THREE TAKEAWAYS

--Downing the fifth:Derek Holland allowed just two baserunners through the first four innings, but lost his command for a spot in the fifth and it cost the Rangers in what had been a tie game. He walked Melky Cabrera to start the inning, then allowed a double to Brett Lawrie. The go-ahead run scored on a wild pitch and an extra run on a sacrifice fly.
