Gattis’ blast, 3 RBIs off Hamels propel Astros

As one of the more experienced members of the Astros’ roster, Evan Gattis has an extensive resume against many of baseball’s veteran pitchers. Specifically, he has quite the track record against Rangers left-hander Cole Hamels, and that came in handy Thursday night at Globe Life Park. Gattis knocked his 10th home run and drove in three runs in the Astros’ 5-2 win over the Rangers to open the four-game set in Arlington. Alex Bregman also went deep for Houston as Gerrit Cole worked six solid innings for his seventh win.
