Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels (1-3) permitted just one run despite walking six batters over six innings during a 5-1 victory over the Mets on Sunday. He also allowed just two hits -- a single and a double -- in his 111-pitch performance (62 strikes) to secure his first win in six starts this season.
After walking just three batters over his past two outings, Hamels matched a career high with his six walks against the Mets but escaped trouble to lower his ERA to a season-low 4.78. He also finished with eight strikeouts.
The left-hander is projected to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Miami, the second time he's faced the division opponent this year. In his previous outing, he limited the Marlins to just one run over six innings.
