Rangers pitcher Cole Hamels won his sixth game as a Ranger despite allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He also struck out eight.
Hamels gave up four extra-base hits including two home runs, but he managed to keep the Rangers in what turned out to be a wild game.
His final three innings went scoreless with four strikeouts to clinch the victory, and Hamels deserves credit for lasting through a difficult opening three innings. He has lost just once for the Rangers.
