Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels wasn't a factor in the decision Saturday after allowing one earned run on five hits and three walks in seven innings and striking out five in his team's 2-1, 11-inning loss to the Mets.
Hamels tossed four scoreless innings before loading the bases with no outs in the fifth. He was able to escape with just one run on the scoreboard but was still in line for a loss before his offense evened the game with a seventh-inning home run. Hamels hasn't given up more than one run in any of his last five outings, giving him a 2.37 ERA and 144:43 K:BB ratio in 144 1/3 innings. He's scheduled to face the Giants Friday.
