Hamels was masterful Monday afternoon, giving up two runs over seven innings with eight strikeouts to earn the win against Seattle. He allowed four hits and three walks.
The two runs that crossed against Hamels came via solo home runs by Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager. Arlington is a homer-friendly park, so Hamels will have to do a bit of a better job limiting baserunners than he did last year, but either way, the 32-year-old is set for another strong season.
