Hamels Shuts Down Cubs to Lead Phillies

Posted Apr 12, 08 11:41 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Cole Hamels allowed one hit over seven innings, Pedro Feliz and Ryan Howard hit two-run homers and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 7-1 last night. Derrek Lee's double with one out in the fourth was the only hit off Hamels. Relievers Ryan Madson and Clay Condrey each allowed a single. Hamels (2-1) struck out five, walked two and got 13 outs on flyballs.

The Phillies won their second straight game without shortstop Jimmy Rollins. The 2007 NL MVP has been out of the starting lineup four straight games since he sprained his left ankle Tuesday. The defending NL East champs evened their record with their first series win in four tries. The Cubs have lost two in a row after winning five straight.

    You're Missing Out on a Great Series Nobody's watching the World Series, and this year, writes Gene Wojciechowski for ESPN, everybody's missing out. Both the Rays and the Phillies came from behind to get here. They’re both managed by colorful characters: One wears a Mohawk, and the other would “rather swallow a wad of chaw.” The games are full of great rookies and vets, and “have been decided by a grand total of four runs.”

    Sox, Dodgers, Phillies Win Openers Jason Bay and Manny Ramirez both proved why they’d been acquired last night. Bay hit a two-run shot to give the Red Sox a lead they never relinquished, sending Anaheim to a 4-1 defeat, while the man he was traded for hit a solo shot in the Dodgers' 7-2 win over the Cubs. But the Dodgers’ real hero was James Loney, who hit a grand slam in the fifth to erase a 2-run Cubs lead. More »

    A students—Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Angels, White Sox
    Particular kudos go to the Rays, the poor kid who went to the head of the class.

    B students—Cardinals, Brewers, Twins, Phillies, Yankees, Athletics, Marlins, Orioles
    The Cardinals have a slight edge in the wildcard race. The Yankees, meanwhile, barely scrape together a B. More »

    Cubs Swinging for Wrigley Record Shhh, don't jinx it: The Chicago Cubs not only lead the National League, they're playing better at home than on the road. The lovable losers are 26-8 at Wrigley Field, a record they last held before going to (and losing) the World Series in 1918.
