Going into the top of the ninth trailing the Yankees by one as the home team is already a bad situation. Derek Holland did his best to keep it from getting any worse, though, pitching around a leadoff double by Derek Jeter to keep the Yankees scoreless. The Rangers now head into the bottom half behind 6-5, and while scoring against Mariano Rivera never comes easy, it's a lot easier to score one run than it is two or three.
