Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels took the loss Tuesday, giving up six earned runs on eight hits and five walks in just 4 2/3 innings while striking out three in his team's 6-1 loss to the Mets.
Hamels (0-2) dealt with an 88-minute rain delay before Tuesday's start and looked completely out of rhythm, hitting a batter as well as doling out six walks, including four in the fourth inning and one to the opposing pitcher to bring home a run. He took a step back after a very solid season debut last week. Hamels owns a 6.75 ERA and 8:6 K:BB ratio in 10 2/3 innings. He'll get the Nationals at home Sunday.
