Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels tossed another quality start Tuesday against the Twins, his second in a row, but he took a no-decision in a 3-2 loss.
Hamels limited Minnesota to two runs on seven hits in his six innings of work, but was actually in line for the loss when he left the game, due to the Phillies' offensive struggles. He allowed both runs in the second inning, on a pair of RBI doubles by Justin Morneau and Oswaldo Arcia.
Hamels struck out five batters and walked none, while throwing 75 of 108 pitches for strikes. He lowered his ERA to 4.45 on the season, but is still just 2-9 overall. He has four quality starts in his last five, heading into his next start, Sunday in Colorado.
