Hamels (3-0) allowed one run on five hits and three walks over 6.2 innings Wednesday, striking out seven Astros in a 2-1 win.
Dating back to last season, Hamels has now won 10 consecutive decisions; in fact, he's only taken one loss in 16 starts as a Ranger. It's slightly concerning that he's seen an early spike in walks -- curiously, he's issued three in each of his victories this month -- but the veteran southpaw should get that in order soon, as he's never suffered from control problems in his career. Hamels' next start is scheduled for Monday against the Yankees.
