Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels allowed three runs on six hits and one walk, settling for a no-decision Thursday at Miami. He had six strikeouts.
Hamels was involved in a pitcher's duel with Henderson Alvarez for most of the afternoon. Both pitchers put zeros on the board until Giancarlo Stanton broke open a scoreless game with a two-out RBI single off Hamels in the bottom of the sixth inning.
The Marlins went up 3-0 on Marcell Ozuna's two-run homer with no outs in the seventh inning. Ozuna homered after Jeff Baker led off the inning with a single to left field.
The Phillies were able to tie the game in the top of the eighth inning, taking Hamels off the hook for the loss. Hamels was lifted from the game despite throwing just 91 pitches (65 strikes) in seven innings.
Hamels has taken three no-decisions in his last four starts. He will be back on the hill Tuesday against the Rockies.
