Hamels gave up five runs -- three earned -- on eight hits over seven innings against the Brewers on Wednesday. He struck out six without walking anyone.

EDGE Analysis

Some poor defense on the part of the Rangers led to Hamels' first unearned runs since July, and he was actually on his way to a loss before the offense bailed him out. Hamels ends his regular season with a 3.32 ERA, a career-worst 1.31 WHIP and exactly 200 strikeouts in 200.2 innings. With the Rangers heading to the playoffs,they'll need him back on his game, as Hamels struggled mightily down the stretch -- it's hard to complain about his final ERA, but it was 2.67 only a month ago.
