Hamilton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, two stolen bases and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
Hamilton sat out the first two games versus the Rangers after going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over three contests versus the Mariners earlier in the week. The reset seemed to help, as the infielder put together his first multi-hit effort since July 14. His recent slump has taken some of the wind out of his sails -- he's at a .253/.307/.395 slash line with five home runs, 28 steals, 19 RBI, 38 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple through 251 plate appearances. Hamilton will need to find more consistency at the plate to avoid ceding more work to Nick Sogard or Romy Gonzalez.
