Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels was roughed up a bit as he gave up five earned runs in Monday evening's 6-4 loss to the Reds.
Hamels got into a jam early in the first inning by putting his first two batters on and giving up an RBI single to Todd Frazier. Hamels surrendered eight hits and two walks but managed to strike out seven over six innings.
Hamels has now walked five batters in his past two starts and has lost two of his last three outings, with the third going for a no-decision. He has a 3.19 ERA for the season.
His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Pirates.
