It went south fast for the Texas Rangers.
Cole Hamels didn't make it out of the first inning Saturday afternoon as the Tigers rolled to a win at Comerica Park.
It's tied for the shortest outing of Hamels' career. He also left after 2/3 innings in a game for the Phillies on June 1, 2010.
Hamels hadn't gone fewer than five innings in his first 17 starts of 2018. His previous shortest outing with the Rangers was a 1 2/3 outing in which he allowed seven runs on seven hits, including two home runs in September 2016.
