MLB: Texas 12, Seattle 3
ARLINGTON, Texas, (UPI) -- Josh Hamilton had a two-run homer among his three RBI Thursday and the Texas Rangers pounded out 17 hits in rolling over Seattle 12-3.
Only four of the Texas runs were earned, thanks to critical errors that set up a four-run third and a five-run sixth.
Hamilton's homer came in the first inning and he added an RBI infield single in the sixth. Michael Young hit a homer and scored twice and Vladimir Guerrero added two RBI and scored three times.
After losing the first contest in a four-game series, Texas won the next three by a combined score of 29-5. Texas is 7-3 in June and Seattle has lost six of its last seven games.
Tommy Hunter (2-0), who has won his first two starts of the year, gave up three runs on five hits with five strikeouts in six innings to collect the victory.
Ryan Rowland-Smith (0-5) was touched for 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
