Phillies rumors: Hamels struggles, Yasiel Puig and Jeff Francoeur

Yeah, it was ugly.

Cole Hamels suffered his second straight horrible outing, lasting just three innings and giving up five runs on eight hits with no walks and one strikeout, a game that was ably capped right here. It came on the heels of an even worse start in San Francisco right before the All Star Break in which Hamels went 3 1/3 innings and gave up nine runs on 12 hits against the Giants.

Over his last two starts, his ERA is 19.89. Over his last seven starts, it's 6.
