This could be a tough one. After a 90 minute rain delay Cole gave up a couple of hits and the Marlins scored a run on a little dribbler to Howard. Probably didn't matter that he can't throw I'm sure the run would have scored anyway.
Ryan gets it back plus one with an opposite field homer to left.
It's the top of the seventh and the Marlins just got their first runner since the first inning. 17 retired in a row by Hamels since the first. Howard made a sloppy error and now they get a hit.
Cole has really been brilliant tonight since that first inning and up until the seventh. He's even using his curve ball.
The odd thing in this game is the four homers by the Phils including three two run shots and a solo one by Dom Brown.
The Phils are on a pace to be the first team with at least three pitchers who get over 200 K's in a season since the Astros in '69.
Dom Brown just bombed one into the upper deck in right. Is this his first two homer game?
Oh no, Hamels is coming out of the game on an injury. Looks like a back thing. Hopefully it just is a stiffness or a spasm. Oh my he was pitching so beautifully.
Herndon came in and for the one inning wasn't too bad. He K'd the first two and gave up a hit but that was all.
Mood is, wow did they do that tonight. Five homers in one game, Dom Brown with two solos, Howard got one in the first, Utley homered and Rollins did too.
Hamels left the game with lower back stiffness but he joined Halladay as the only nine game winners in the league.
I see that the Indians lost to the Tigers tonight. They started the season 30-15 and are 5-15 since and now are in second place behind Detroit in their division.
The four Aces have won their last four starts in a row and that's the first time that has happened this season.
Win 9-1
Streak 4 Aces in a row.
Last ten 7-3
Record 41-26 = 15 over .500 a season high
