Hamilton homecoming: 2010 AL MVP back in Texas on home team

A month and a day after being re-acquired by the Rangers, Hamilton played his first home game in Texas since the 2012 AL wild-card game, one in which the soon-to-depart slugger was booed lustily — like he would be the next two seasons when returning with the Los Angeles Angels. Hamilton finished 2 for 4, including an RBI single in the ninth — on another sharply hit ball to right — that accounted for the only Rangers run in a 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. In his last home game for Texas, Hamilton twice struck out on three pitches and grounded into a double play in the wild-card loss to Baltimore. After an offseason when he had shoulder surgery and a self-reported relapse with cocaine and alcohol, the slugger went to Arizona for extended spring training before 12 games split between Triple-A Round Rock and Double-A Frisco. Hamilton was hitless in his first 10 at-bats before a hit in his final at-bat at Cleveland on Wednesday, a single when he was thrown out trying for a double.
