Another beauty of an outing from Cole Hamels tonight helped snap a three-game losing streak for the Phillies. The Phillies got ahead to a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a two-run dinger by John Mayberry, Jr. which scored Laynce Nix. To follow, Erik Kratz sent a monster home run into the second deck […]
What a way to start off this series with the division-rival Marlins. Cole Hamels was spectacular for the second straight start last night as he tossed his second consecutive complete game shut out. Opposed from his five-hitter against the Braves last week, Hamels allowed just seven hits to the Marlins, who coincidentally, were shutout the […]
A sellout crowd, the first since the streak ended, watched as Cliff Lee went for his first win at home of the season. Cliff was dealing through the first few innings, but a downpour of rain and Cardinals offense would slow his rhythm and ruin his chances of that win. The Phillies were making some […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Roy Halladay was great last night. The Good Doctor was on top of his game against the Cardinals. He allowed just one earned run, a second inning Carlos Beltran home run, over eight frames. Chase Utley put the Phils ontop in the eighth inning with a two-run shot to help secure Doc […]
Cole Hamels was completely dominant last night as he shut out the Braves for his first complete game shut out since Game 3 of the 2010 NLDS. Hamels earned his 12th win of the year as he allowed just five hits while striking out six. Hamels evened up the series with the Braves at one-a-peice […]
Kyle Kendrick was named the fifth starter and tonight's starter after Joe Blanton's waivers were claimed by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kendrick had not allowed an earned run since June 28th heading into tonight, and he was looking to keep his streak alive. The first run of this ballgame would end Kendrick's scoreless innings pitched […]
The Phillies may have traded two-thirds of their outfield yesterday after a dismal first-half of the season, resulting in a fire sale in the Phillie's front office, but they came right out of the gates last night and pounced on Stephen Strasburg to take game one of this three game set. After an 8-0 victory […]
Joe Blanton has always been a second half pitcher, and it really showed tonight in Atlanta. It wasn't an 80-pitch complete game shutout, but it was a great start that unfortunately wasn't backed up by much offense from his team. In the bottom of the first, Chipper Jones popped up a sacrifice fly to Shane […]
Merry Christmas in July, everyone! Cole Hamels' fresh six-year contract extension was a pretty sweet gift, but how about a sweep? The Phils sent the Vanimal, Vance Worley to the mound to silence the Brewers and go for the first series sweep of the year. Martin Maldonado would bring home the first run of the […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]
