Josh Hamilton smacked two more dingers and Yu Darvish improved to 5-1 on the year in a big win over the Angels.
Yu Darvish goes 5 1/3 innings against the Angels, giving up three runs with seven strikeouts.
Josh Hamilton had one of the best days in the history of Major League baseball, going 5-5 with FOUR home runs in the Rangers’ 10-3 beat down in Baltimore today. Hamilton was responsible for eight of those runs, as all four were two-run shots with Elvis Andrus on base. While he became only the 16th player to pull off the feat of four home runs in a single game, his 18 total bases set a new American League record.
The Natural did it on the road.
