MLB Note - Texas Rangers Hamels, Cole

Aug 17, 2017 - 8:56 AM LHP Cole Hamels (8-1) improved to 6-0 this season at home in Texas' 12-6 victory over Detroit. He gave up four runs, eight hits and five walks in six innings. He struck out two and yielded two home runs, including a leadoff homer to Detroit 2B Ian Kinsler, who quickly ended Hamels' scoreless-innings streak at 11. "Cole didn't have his best stuff tonight, but he battled through," manager Jeff Banister said. "He seemed to find a little rhythm late, and once he got a lead, he maneuvered better through the lineup."
