ARLINGTON, Texas -- Derek Holland has been a model of consistency for the Texas Rangers since coming off the disabled list.Even though hes only made two starts, the left-handers performance so far is a positive sign for the American Leagues top team as it tries to solidify its rotation behind Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish over the final five weeks of the season.Holland allowed a run and four hits with five strikeouts in six innings, the same as in his return five days earlier. The Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 2-1 on Sunday, taking three of four games in a series between division leaders.What we always talk about is being consistent and I want to make sure Im showing that, Holland said. I know its two games in a row. The way Im going to look at that is, whoop-de-do. ... Its good to live in that moment. Ive got to continue to worry about staying consistent.Ian Desmond and Jonathan Lucroy each had an RBI single for Texas, which has an 8 1/2-game lead over Houston and Seattle after both those AL West rivals lost Sunday. New left fielder Carlos Gomez made two highlight-reel catches, including a runs-saving grab to end the sixth against the last batter Holland faced.Holland (6-6) had missed two months because of shoulder inflammation before starting Tuesday at Cincinnati, a 3-0 loss. He threw 62 of his 84 pitches for strikes against the AL Central-leading Indians.When Derek throws strikes, Derek has success, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. He had a great mix today.Cleveland loaded the bases in the ninth against closer Sam Dyson, who allowing a single and then consecutive one-out walks before striking out pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin and retiring Abraham Almonte on a fly ball to end it. It was Dysons 29th save in 33 chances.Danny Salazar (11-6) lost his third consecutive decision in four August starts despite matching his season high with 10 strikeouts and allowing just two runs in 5 1/3 innings.In the sixth, with two Indians still on base and two outs after Jason Kipnis RBI single cut the margin to 2-1, Mike Napoli hit a hard liner to left. Gomez was sprinting back and reaching over his head when he made the catch.We had a few chances, Indians manager Terry Francona said. (Napoli) hit his ball and Gomez made a nice play, but we didnt have a ton of chances.That was an inning after Gomez made a leaping catch with his glove extended as his body crashed into the left-field wall to rob Jose Ramirez of a hit.Gomez played his fourth game for Texas after playing in 85 earlier this season for the Houston Astros, who designated the two-time All-Star for assignment Aug. 10.He was the hero today, Holland said. I may have pitched a fairly good game ... those are two big, huge catches.RUN AFTER REVIEWDesmonds run-scoring single in the second came on the first pitch after Elvis Andrus had been initially called out on a stolen base. The Rangers challenged and Andrus, who went to second while Nomar Mazara struck out, was ruled safe on a replay review that extended the inning.NOTHING EXTRAThe Indians finished with six hits, and the Rangers had five. All of them were singles. It was only the third game in the 22-year history of the Rangers ballpark that didnt include any extra-base hits. The previous one was against the Los Angeles Angels three years ago.SCORING SLUMPThe Indians won 12-1 on Friday night, their only win in Texas. Cleveland scored four runs total in its other six games the past week, and was shut out twice in Texas.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Just before the deep fly Gomez caught, Ramirez fouled a pitch off his right leg, just above his knee. ... LF Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. It was the third time in this series and MLB-high 28th time this season he was plunked.Rangers: There was a short delay in the fourth inning when team photographer Kelly Gavin was struck on the back of the head by a foul ball hit into the photographers well at the far end of the Rangers dugout. Gavin got the rest of the day off, and team officials said she would be OK.UP NEXTIndians: Start a 10-game homestand Monday night with right-hander Trevor Bauer (9-6) on the mound against Minnesota, which has the ALs worst record.Rangers: Darvish (4-3, 2.91) makes his third major league start against fellow Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma in the opener of a three-game series against Seattle on Monday night. Darvish and Iwakuma both came to the majors before the 2012 season. They have split their first two MLB matchups, with each winning at home.NFL Jerseys For Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla.

And the fact remains that Kenseth is a Toyota teammate, and Truex is in on all the competition meetings at Kenseths team, Joe Gibbs Racing, as part of his Furniture Row Racing teams alliance.I felt like I probably could have pushed the issue a little bit more. I just didnt want to risk contact, getting into him and taking him out of the race, Truex said. I know hes got a lot on the line.Weve got our win, so that kind of played into that decision a little bit, and ... hes a teammate, too. It would be an awkward meeting on Tuesday if I knocked him out of the way to win my second race of the first round.That was the issue many had when Joey Logano turned Kenseth to win at Kansas a year ago a week after Logano had won at Charlotte to open the second round.While some applauded Logano for keeping an opponent from winning and possibly advancing, it made people wonder how someone with nothing to lose should race someone who has so much to lose.I was trying to race as hard as I possibly could without getting into him, and he wasnt making that easy, Truex said. But thats his job as the leader. This racetrack, its hard to pass at. Its really hard to pass on when you have two cars that are very equal.I felt like we were a little bit better than him at that point in time, but not good enough to just drive by him. He was running the line that I needed to run. ... He didnt give me much room underneath him to get any grip, and every time wed go off in the corner Id get loose and have to back out from underneath him. It was tough racing, hard racing.Truex believes if he could have gotten by Kenseth, they could have kept Kevin Harvick from winning and potentially made Harvick fight for a Chase spot next week at Dover.We both burned our tires off, Truex said after a seventh-place finish. Man, we were going as hard as we could go every single lap, and I think Harvick was back there in clean air.He wasnt as fast as we were, so he was just running smooth, consistent laps, and he ended up having better tires than us at the end.Xfinity Series: Sadler earns statement winElliott Sadler put a wrench in the theory that the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers would be the teams to beat in the Xfinity Series Chase as he won the opener at Kentucky.JGR woon 15 of the first 26 races, with Chevy teams winning 10 -- JR Motorsports with four, Richard Childress Racing with three and Chip Ganassi Racing with two -- and Fords with two (one by Penske, one by Biagi-DenBeste Racing).ddddddddddddadler, who led the standings for the final eight weeks until the points reset for the Chase, has won two of the last four races. JR Motorsports had won two of the first eight races and then went winless over the next 15.Were just going to keep racing our behinds off week in and week [out] and keep trying to put the pressure on them, Sadler said. Those guys have set the bar really high and they qualify on a lot of poles, but Ill take [my crew chief] and everybody back at the shop at JR Motorsports right now on a head-to-head battle with those guys the next six weeks.Well see what theyre made of the next six weeks.They will especially see what Erik Jones is made of. The rookie crashed into Ty Dillon after losing control of his car in tight quarters. JGRs Jones is three points behind the cutoff with two races left in the round -- races that he can automatically advance into the semifinal round with a win so he doesnt have to rely on points.We can win anytime we come to the race track, but we beat ourselves a lot this year and we did it again tonight and thats unfortunate, Jones said. Its my fault.Were back there in traffic and just got sucked around. Its a bummer for sure. We didnt want to end our night like that and well just have to race really well at the next couple.Camping World Truck Series: Byron maintains focusThe win to open the Camping World Truck Series Chase at New Hampshire was not a confirmation of William Byrons ability. He already had five wins this season and few doubted he could win again.But it was a confirmation that Byron can handle the distractions that have been thrown his way the last few weeks.It was a month ago when Byron was introduced as the newest driver in the Hendrick Motorsports stable. He will drive an Xfinity Series car for JR Motorsports next year.Then in the last couple of weeks, Byron enrolled in classes at Liberty University.So to go out and lead 161 of 175 laps, it shows he hasnt let either the thought of driving for Hendrick or what grade hell get on his next English paper impact his focus.Theres been a lot going on, Byron said. With school starting, thats probably bigger than next year. Ive just tried to make sure these guys know I can get to the shop anytime I need to. ' ' '
