Flying Fish
The Marlins defeat the Phillies in a game started by Cole Hamels for the fourth time this season. He's pitched well in three of those, including today, giving up two earned runs. Today, Chris Volstad and the Marlins bullpen were better as they shut out the Phillies 3-0. They held the Phillies to four hits, although they did walk six. The Phillies went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
The Phillies loss, coupled with the Mets win makes the NL East very tight. The Marlins are 1 1/2 games back, the Mets 2. Florida heads to New York while the Phillies host Pittsburgh. Philadelphia has five games left with the Mets, six with the Marlins.
