Holland allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits with a walk while striking out five over six innings in last Friday’s 3-1 loss to the Twins. The left-hander held Minnesota to 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position to keep the White Sox in the game and overall turned in an encouraging start for rebuilding Chicago.
Salazar gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits with four walks while striking out nine over 5 2/3 innings in Texas last Wednesday. Nomar Mazara hit a two-run home run off him in the first inning but Salazar settled in after that, pitching three scoreless innings before things got rocky again in the fifth inning. In that fifth frame, Mazara burned him again with a RBI single.
