No hitting no problem tonight. Not with Cole Hamels on the mound. It's been a banner year thus far for the new lefty and tonight was no exception. He tossed 8 scoreless innings, while striking out 9 and allowing just 6 hits. The closest the Dodgers came to scoring off him was in the 7th inning when Matt Kemp singled with Andre Ethier on second and nobody out, but a strong throw from Dom Brown thwarted the sure RBI, freezing Ethier at 3rd. Hamels then pitched his way out of the inning. L.A again put runners on the corners in the 8th inning, but Cole got out of it again, this time forcing Ethier into an inning ending groundout. Meanwhile, Ryan Howard lined a homer to right in the 6th, and Shane Victorino tripled and scored on a fielder's choice in 7th to give the Phils a 2-0 lead heading into the 9th. There Ryan Madson locked down his 14th save and the Phils 37th win.
