Hamels has mixed results in 4 1/3-inning return
Cole Hamels strikes out Edwin Encarnacion looking with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 1st inning, his first strikeout since returningCLEVELAND -- Rangers starter Cole Hamels took the mound on Monday for the first time since April 26. Unfortunately for the left-hander, his return to the Majors after missing nearly seven weeks with an oblique injury didn't go quite as planned.
The Rangers activated Hamels from the 10-day DL to start the series opener, but Hamels lacked command in the 15-9 loss to the Indians from the get-go, and was ultimately charged with seven runs on eight hits, four walks and a wild pitch in 4 1/3 innings.
