Cole Hamels allowed just one hit over seven scoreless innings of work to lead the Texas Rangers to a 5-1 win over Detroit Friday. Hamels walked two and struck out nine in improving to a perfect 4-0 on the season.
Fantasy Impact
Hamels had the Tiger batters off balance all night, using a mix of his fastball and an outstanding change to dominate the Detroit hitters. It was a bounce-back performance for Hamels, who had allowed four earned runs over five innings in his previous start. He gave up a leadoff single in the first inning, but allowed just a pair of walks the rest of his outing.
