All season long Phillies ace Cole Hamels has been one of the unluckiest pitchers in all of baseball. Entering Saturday’s contest, Hamels was 9-6, but has one of the best ERA’s in the league. The lack of run support for King Cole ended today, but not before he gave up nine runs on six hits in three and two thirds innings. Adam Eaton on the other hand pitched only one inning, gave up two hits, and got a win.

In the fifth inning, Greg Dobbs batted for the aforementioned winner, and hit a monsterous three-run home run into the upper deck of right field for his third dinger of the season. Dobbs continued his great year off the bench as part of a seven-run fifth inning.

Hamels on the other hand struggled. He only struck out a pair in less than four innings of work. Hamels usually is good to eat up a lot of innings on his fifth day, but the ‘pen was called into action sooner than expected Saturday.

Although the Phils did snap their three game losing streak, pitching is still an obvious concern, especially in the starting rotation. After trading for big Joe Blanton, the Phils are most likely done in terms of dealing for a starting arm, but there is always hope to have J.A. Happ recalled. He pitched phenomenally in his two starts as a Phil this year. The Phillies have already sent Adam Eaton to the pen and might not be able to afford to sent Brett Myers there as well. Someone will have to step up if the Phils want to retain their title of NL East Champions.
