Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels turned in another solid start Tuesday against the Pirates, but was charged with his third loss of the season.

Hamels (0-3), who made his fifth start of the season, surrendered a run-scoring double to Brandon Inge in the fourth and a solo home run to Gaby Sanchez in the eighth for his only damage of the night. The left-hander was charged with two runs and seven hits in eighth innings of work in a 2-0 defeat. He struck out six and walked one on 118 pitches, 82 for strikes.

Hamels has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. He is slated to start Sunday against the Mets at Citi Field. The 29-year-old is 2-3 with a 3.86 ERA in his last eight starts at Citi Field.
