Rangers ace Cole Hamels picked up his first win with the team since being acquired in a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline, pitching six strong innings Sunday in a victory over the Tigers.
Hamels scattered eight hits, but allowed just two earned runs during his 96-pitch outing. He struck out two and walked two to improve to 1-1 with the Rangers and 7-8 overall.
In his four starts with the Rangers, Hamels has now allowed 5, 4, 3 and 2 runs, respectively.
