The Phillies are halfway to revenge for being swept by the Dodgers in Los Angeles last week, as Cole Hamels was his usual fine self today and got plenty of run support for a change. Phils 9, Dodgers 2.
Hamels gave up two earned on five hits while striking out five over seven. All starters got a hit or run except for Chris Coste. Pat Burrell was the big star, going 3-5 with a homer while tying his career high with five RBI.
Rudy Seanez had a four-pitch 9th inning.
Competitors: The Mets play later.
Red Sox: Their young lefty ace didn't fare so well. Jon Lester was shelled for seven runs and couldn't finish the 3rd inning. Blue Jays 11, sinking-out-of-the-playoff Red Sox 0. Yaz is recovering. Josh Beckett's elbow is inflamed.
Competitors: The Rays beat the White Sox (actually a good thing because Chicago is a half-game out of the Wild Card). The Twins and Yankees play later.
More Hamels: Young Cole had an extensive Q&A with Yahoo's Answer Man. He admits his salary comments this spring were immature, says Shane Victorino would be jailed at an Eagles game and claims he's smoked only one (legal) cigarette in his life.
