Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels dominated the Reds and got plenty of help in an 8-0 win Friday.
Hamels shut the Reds down in seven-plus innings of work, and allowed just one extra-base hit while facing 30 batters. He struck out seven batters and walked just two as well, while throwing 125 pitches in 7 2/3 innings of work in the win.
Hamels hasn't received much help recently, despite tossing the ball well. He has tossed at least seven innings in seven straight starts, but has just two runs to show for it. He is 2-3 with a 3.49 ERA in his nine starts this season, and will look to get back to .500 Thursday against the Padres.
