ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Cole Hamels flirted with a no-hitter until the sixth inning Friday night, but Adrian Beltre upstaged him in the Texas Rangers 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.Beltre had four hits, including leading off consecutive innings with home runs that gave him 434 for his career, moving him into a tie with Juan Gonzalez and Andruw Jones for 45th place all-time.Thats who he is, thats what he means to us, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. Hes obviously a future Hall of Famer ... and weve seen this type of performance before.Several of those efforts have come against the Rays. Beltre has homered in four of his last five games against Tampa Bay, and he hit three homers at Tropicana Filed in Game 4 of the 2011 ALDS. Beltres 20th and 21st home runs of the season Friday night marked the 30th multi-homer game of his career.But Hamels was the story until Beltres power surge. Hamels had retired 15 straight, striking out seven, when Corey Dickerson singled with two outs in the sixth for Tampa Bays first hit.I saw the big zero on the scoreboard and for some reason, I thought he was going to get it today, said Elvis Andrus, who scored from first on Ian Desmonds single in the fifth. (Hamels) was in command of everything from the first pitch of the game, and when he gets that way its a lot of fun to watch.Hamels (13-4) gave up one run and three hits, including Steve Souza Jr.s home run, while striking out 10 in 7 1/3 innings.Mitch Morelands 21st home run broke a scoreless tie in the fifth.Beltre led off a three-run sixth off Tampa Bay starter Matt Andriese with the first of his two homers. The Rangers tacked on two more runs in the inning, taking a 5-0 lead when reliever Ryan Garton walked Jurickson Profar with the bases loaded.Beltres second homer came off Garton in the seventh.Andriese (6-5) lost his third straight start, giving up five runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.The Rangers have won four straight and 10 of 13.The loss ended the Rays four-game winning streak.We got out-pitched, we got out-hit, out-defended, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. They didnt make any mental mistakes, we made a handful. So a pretty disappointing effort.FOND MEMORY FOR HAMELSHamels only other start at Tropicana Field was for the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the 2008 World Series, of which he was named the MVP.It was a sellout, a pretty important game, he recalled. So I had to kind of get to that mindset where youre hearing about 50,000 bells, as opposed to the 10 or 11 that were here. (The announced attendance Friday night was 15,109).WHOS LEFT?The Rays had three left fielders in the game before they got their first hit.Mikie Mahtook started the game in left, but moved to center field after the second inning when Kevin Kiermaier left with tightness in his left hip.Nick Franklin, who replaced Mahtook in left, was replaced by Dickerson in the fifth, leaving backup catcher Luke Maile as the only healthy position player on the Rays bench.Franklin was placed on the 7-day concussion DL.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: RHP Colby Lewis (right lat strain) threw 42 pitches over two innings in a simulated game. Banister said pitching in a rehab game Wednesday is part of the plan for Lewis, who last pitched on June 21.Rays: SS Matt Duffy, who left Wednesdays game after three innings due to left Achilles soreness, played. ... 2B Logan Forsythe (back spasms) remains out of the lineup but doesnt expect to go on the DL.UP NEXTRHP A.J.

Now they need to start gaining some ground in the standings.Wilmer Flores launched a grand slam, Asdrubal Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and even Colon had two helpful hits while pitching the third-place Mets to a 9-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.Jose Reyes and Cabrera opened the Mets half of the first inning with consecutive home runs, just the second time the franchise has accomplished that feat. But the defending NL champions (65-63) remained 3 1/2 games behind St. Louis in a crowded race for the leagues second wild card.Weve still got things weve got to make sure we address and stay on top of, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Its not all a cakewalk from here on out.The 43-year-old Colon (12-7) carried a two-hitter into the eighth and took over the team lead in wins as New York began a pivotal 10-game homestand by winning for the fifth time in its past six.The only other time he got two hits in a game was in August 2002 with the Montreal Expos against Milwaukee.Colon just seems to own us, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. We cant square the ball up off of him.The pudgy pitcher lashed two sharp hits that delighted the crowd, a leadoff double in the fifth and a line-drive single in the sixth. He scored both times, first ahead of Flores third career slam and then in front of Cabreras second homer of the night.The switch-hitting shortstop became the first Mets player to go deep from both sides in one game since Carlos Beltran at Colorado on May 12, 2011.Its not easy, but Im excited that happened, Cabrera said.A tiring Colon gave up four straight hits to start the eighth but walked off the mound to a warm ovation and acknowledged the crowd by patting his glove and pointing two fingers.It means a lot. It took me back to my Cleveland days, when it was a sellout every time I went on the mound, and we feed off the energy, Colon said through a translator.Phillies left-hander Adam Morgan (1-8) gave up two homers on his first five pitches but recovered. He was trailing 2-1 when Neil Walker, just back from the paternity leave list after the birth of a baby girl, worked a nine-pitch walk to load the bases with two outs in the fifth.Flores reached down and lofted the next delivery over the fence in left-ccenter.dddddddddddd He was summoned out of the dugout for a curtain call.It feels good, Flores said. They make you feel good every time you do something special.Morgan, who has dropped eight straight decisions, allowed eight hits and struck out eight in five innings. He was fortunate to avoid a serious injury, too, when he barely ducked out of the way of Yoenis Cespedes screaming line drive.Morgan, hit by a line drive earlier this season, spun around and crouched in front of the mound as he caught his breath. The crowd let out a trio of collective groans as the big video board showed three replays of the ball whizzing just above Morgans head.I just know that Im learning. I see improvements. Sure, the home runs and the numbers will tell you different, but I see improvements, Morgan said.CHART CLIMBINGWith his 230th career win, Colon passed Luis Tiant for third-most by a pitcher born in Latin America.
