Hamilton added an RBI single in the ninth inning to finish 2 for 4. He is batting .200/.250/.267 through four games. He missed time recovering from shoulder surgery in February, after which he self-reported a drug and alcohol relapse. The relapse triggered his exit from Anaheim.
Hamilton was an All-Star all five seasons he played with the Rangers and was voted American League MVP in 2010, hitting .305/.363/.549 during his time there. In two injury-plagued seasons with the Angels, he slumped to .255/.316/.426 with 31 homers.
