Hamels (2-0) allowed three earned runs on seven hits while racking up four strikeouts and two walks in a no decision Thursday against the Orioles.
The veteran lefty was in line for his first loss as a Ranger on Thursday before his offense bailed him out with a big sixth inning. Hamels' big mistake was a fastball he left high over the heart of the plate, which Mark Trumbo took the other way for a home run. Despite not having his best stuff Thursday, Hamels still managed to limit the damage and keep his team in the game and his ERA remains under 3.0 (2.95) His next outing is set for Wednesday when the Rangers host the Astros.
