PHILADELPHIA -- One reunion got off to a great start, while another was anything but impressive, as new Philadelphia Phillies hitting coach Charlie Manuel saw his lineup score 11 runs on Wednesday -- eight of them against former Phillies star Cole Hamels.
Hamels got a hero's welcome back to Philadelphia then promptly got rocked, failing to record an out in the bottom of the third inning while giving up nine hits and two walks as the Phils beat the Chicago Cubs, 11-1. The standing ovation he received when he came to the plate in the top of the third didn't feel so great after giving up four runs.
