Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels was at the top of his game Tuesday, giving up just six hits in eight scoreless innings while striking out eight and walking none in his team's 6-0 win over the Mets.
Hamels (6-5) has seen his name come up in trade rumors, and he showed Tuesday why it would take a massive offer to pull him away from the Phillies. He has turned in five straight quality starts, giving up just two earned runs in 23 innings over his last three outings. Hamels owns a 2.55 ERA and 133:39 K:BB ratio in 130 1/3 innings. If he's still with the Phillies through the deadline, he'll face the Nationals Sunday.
