TORONTO — In last year’s ALDS playoffs, Texas pitcher Derek Holland made more enemies than friends at the Rogers Centre when a fan threw a white towel on the field and the Rangers’ lefty pretended to wipe his rear end with it.
On Thursday night, Holland could have used that towel to wave — as a gesture of surrender.
Blow outs have been few and far between this season for the Toronto Blue Jays, but they managed one on Thursday night at the expense of Holland, hammering the Rangers starter for 11 runs on 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings en route to a 12-2 win — Toronto’s first double-digit run total of the season in their 30th game.
