Cole Hamels will start June hoping he can replicate his May success. He has lasted seven innings or more in each of his last five starts and has surrendered just seven runs over that period, dropping his ERA from 4.14 to 2.91.
He is also 13-0 with 1.35 ERA in his career with his team starts versus Cincinnati. Reds starter Mike Leake 1-5 career team starts in this series, including 0-5 the last five, and 5-10 last fifteen away team starts. With Hamels in super KW form with 30 strikeouts and 4 walks his last four starts, and Leake struggling lately with 9 walks and 7 strikeouts his last 4 starts, we are jumping all over the Phillies here on Wednesday night!
