WS2011 Gm4: Holland shuts out Cards over 8 1/3 frames
ARLINGTON -- In the annals of Rangers pitching, this will rank right up there with Kenny Rogers' perfect game, Nolan Ryan's two no-hitters and Cliff Lee's brilliance in the first two rounds of last year's playoffs.

This one, though, may exceed them all, considering it came in the World Series and kept the Rangers from being pushed to the brink of elimination. Instead, Derek Holland rose to his finest moment with the Rangers and pulled his team even in the Fall Classic.

Holland, pitching before 51,539 at Rangers Ballpark, held the Cardinals to two hits over 8 1/3 innings on Saturday night and the Rangers seized a 4-0 victory in Game 4. Neftali Feliz got the final two hitters, and the World Series is now tied at two games each.
