Cliff Lee came so close to that third win tonight. So close. Cliff Lee struck out the side in the bottom of the first inning. You know, a strikeout, another strikeout, two solo home runs, and another strikeout. The solo homers went to Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez, the Phillies killers from the previous Brewers-Phillies […]
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 […]
Yesterday, the Marlins were no-hit through six innings by Chris Capuano and the Dodgers. Capuano ended up a tossing a two-hitter, shutting out the Fish. Cole Hamels started tonight's ballgame looking to do something along those lines, and did just that. Hamels was brilliant tonight in his second consecutive complete game shutout. The Phillies kicked […]
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 […]
The pesky Braves just can't lose, can they? Other than last night's gem of a game from Hamels, the Braves have dominated the Phillies all season. Tonight, they showed great patience at the plate and got Kyle Kendrick to exit the game early, just to tear up the Phils' bullpen. In the rubber match of […]
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 […]
Fantastic. Outstanding. Spectacular. Masterful. Anyway you want to say it, Cole Hamels was all of that and beyond tonight against Mike Minor and the Braves. The three runs the Phillies scored tonight would be enough for Cole who shut out Atlanta in a complete game effort. The runs would come in the first inning, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
