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 […]
