Tommy Hanson allowed seven runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Royals on Saturday. Hanson had a 3.24 ERA and 1.08 WHIP coming into the game but left with a 6.43 ERA after the shelling. He gave up seven hits and three walks, striking out five in the outing. With the Rangers short on starter options, Hanson may sneak into the back end of the team's rotation to start the season despite the poor outing.
