D-Backs Mark Reynolds Connects
The Bad: After retiring the first ten batters he faced, Cole Hamels gave up four homeruns to turn an early 2-0 Phillies lead into a loss. Phils lose 7-4.
The Good: Before he started to get the ball up in the strike zone, Hamels resembled the dominant pitcher he was in the 2008 playoffs.
Commentary: The Phillies need Hamels. His split personality has been concerning. Since the 2008 World Series, Hamels record is 12-13. He needs to do better, and he will.
