    Josh Hamilton was watching from the bench for the first time since rejoining the Texas Rangers.

    Then with one swing, he won the game that gave the Rangers their first series victory at home this season -- in the 2010 AL MVP's first home series for Texas since 2012.

    "It feels like old times," Hamilton said. "It really does. It's a lot of fun. Coming back home and having some good games against Boston and then having a game like today reminds you of some good times for the Rangers."

    Hamilton had a pinch-hit, two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday for a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox, lining a 1-1 splitter off Koji Uehara into the left-center gap. It was the third pinch-hit, walk-off double of the season -- the other two belonging to the Cincinnati Reds -- but the first for the Rangers since Sept. 8, 1991, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
