Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels was brilliant in Saturday's victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, racking up 10 strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball.
Hamels was fantastic during his time on the hill, allowing only three hits and two walks. The earned run came off a solo homer in the eighth from Steve Souza, but other than that, Hamels' was virtually un-hittable on Friday. His next start will come against the Reds on Wednesday.
Hamels now has a 2.80 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP over 160 2/3 innings pitched this season. He has a 23.5 strikeout rate and a very good 2.75 nERD in 2016.
