Derek Holland allowed four runs on eight hits and last just 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision on Sunday night against the Tigers.

It was the first time Holland hasn't went at least five innings in a start this season. He gave up three walks and managed to finish with six strikeouts, but couldn't overcome a pair of home runs to Miguel Cabrera. After settling for two straight no-decisions, Holland will look to get back in the win column in his next start Saturday vs. the Mariners.

Derek Holland limited the Brewers to one run over seven innings Wednesday in a 4-1 Rangers victory.

Holland yielded a whopping 10 hits but operated confidently in tight spots, fanning six batters without issuing a walk. The 26-year-old lefty is now 3-2 with a 2.54 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 43/10 K/BB ratio in 49 2/3 innings this season. He appears ready to take a big step forward here in 2013 and should keep rolling next week against the A's.

Derek Holland struck out a season-high nine batters over eight shutout frames Friday in a 7-0 win over the Red Sox.

Holland walked just one batter and while he gave up six hits, all of them were singles. He threw a season-high 112 pitches in the victory. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 2.74 ERA and 37/10 K/BB ratio in 42 2/3 innings across six starts this season and has allowed three runs or less in five of them. He has battled inconsistency in the past, but perhaps he's finally ready for a breakout season.

Derek Holland gave up four runs -- three earned -- over seven innings Saturday in a loss to the Twins.

Holland struck out six batters and issued only one walk, but the Twins took advantage of the few mistakes he made. The young left-hander has a cool 3.38 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 28/9 K/BB ratio through 34 2/3 innings this season but he can claim just one win in five starts. He'll hope for better luck next time out against the Red Sox.

Derek Holland yielded six runs over 5 2/3 frames but escaped with a no-decision in Monday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

He struck out seven but gave up six hits and walked four. Holland carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth, but he gave up three-spots in both the fourth and the sixth (though the last two runs crossed the plate after he exited). The left-hander had been terrific in his first three outings, including in his first start against the Halos. He'll try to bounce back in Minnesota this weekend.
