In a brief turn back the clock style performance, the Phillies got an ace performance from Cole Hamels and a homerun from Ryan Howard to down the first place New York Mets by 3-1 at Citizens Bank Park.
Hamels (2-3) went 7 innings and threw 104 pitches, 69 of them for strikes. He allowed just an earned run and 4 hits, with an 8-2 K:BB ratio.
Ken Giles came on throwing high-90’s heat in a perfect 8th inning, and Jonathan Papelbon followed by shutting it down for his 6th save, a franchise-record tying career 112th as the Phillies closer.
