“I want to keep that same intensity I had last year when I came up,” Holland said. “There’s no need to add any pressure. I get to be part of this team again. That was my main goal is to be here to help these guys to get where we want to be, in the playoffs and then to the World Series.”
The Rangers are one game out of the second Wild Card spot in the AL while also four games back from the AL West lead.
