There was nothing but smiles in the Chicago Cubs dugout Friday afternoon when Cole Hamels and his team cruised to a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Wrigley Field. Hamels pitched a gem, going eight innings and allowing one run on four hits and striking out six.
Once again, Hamels had a great game at Wrigley Field. Since joining the Cubs last August, he has made seven starts at home and has a 1.49 ERA in those games. Hamels has averaged roughly seven innings, one run and seven strikeouts per-start in that span.
