PHILLIES WATCH
Carlos Ruiz drove in the lone run of the game and Cole Hamels pitched seven
strong innings, as the Phillies snuck past the Milwaukee Brewers, 1-0, in the
opener of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
Hamels (9-10) gave up just three hits to go with seven strikeouts and three
walks to pick up his second straight win. Ryan Madson recorded his fifth save
of the year.
The victory moved the Phillies, who have won four in a row and seven of eight,
within one game of the NL East-leading Braves, who lost to the Marlins on Friday.
