Hamels (3-0) lasted just five innings in his return from a groin injury Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four, but was able to escape with a no-decision in a 9-6 loss to the Angels.
It was his shortest outing since being acquired by the Rangers at the end of July last season. Hamels still sports a 3.30 ERA, but control issues have left him with a 1.40 WHIP and 27:15 K:BB in 30 innings, and he's walked multiple batters in each of his five starts this year. He'll try to sharpen his command in his next start Friday in Detroit.
