Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels had uncharacteristic trouble keeping the ball in the yard Thursday, in a 5-3 extra-innings win over the Marlins.
Hamels settled for a no-decision in the outing, though he left in line for a loss. He was tagged for three runs on six hits, with all three coming by way of solo home runs. Hamels struck out seven batters on 98 pitches, and took a no-decision as the offense bailed him out for the loss.
Hamels is just 2-4 through his first 13 starts of the season, as run support has been at a premium for him. He has a 2.84 ERA through 88 2/3 innings heading into his next start, set for Wednesday in Miami.
