MILWAUKEE —Cole Hamels finally gave up some runs, though he was still sharp enough to come away with another win. John Mayberry Jr. and Erik Kratz hit back-to-back home runs and Hamels tied a season high with 10 strikeouts to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 Saturday night. Hamels (14-6) gave up eight hits and three earned runs in 7 2-3 innings. He walked just one batter, but gave up a two-run homer to Ryan Braun with two outs in the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon came on and struck out Aramis Ramirez, then pitched a scoreless ninth to record his 27th save. “(Hamels) pitched really good. He used all his pitches and had good command,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Hamels entered the game having thrown 22 consecutive scoreless innings over his previous three starts. The stretch included consecutive nine-inning shutouts, against Atlanta on Aug. 7 and Miami on Monday. “I was able to keep the ball down and get big outs with my changeup and keep them off balance,” Hamels said. After retiring the Brewers in order in the first inning, the left-hander, who was the MVP of the 2008 World Series, yielded a home run to Ramirez to lead off the bottom of the second. “It was just a bad pitch. I threw a really good one before and I tried to throw it again,” Hamels said. “I just left it up. He definitely got me. At the same time, you just go and battle. I dont like to give up the runs, especially the homers. In this ball park, if I just stay down and make pitch after pitch, obviously Ill be able to get out of jams and succeed.” The home run to Braun in the eighth came after Hamels allowed a single to Jonathan Lucroy. “Its going to be a battle with Braun. Hes that good,” Hamels said. “Theres a constant battle when you have to face the best hitters. Thats why I really wanted to get Lucroy out. I think I was more frustrated about that.” The Phillies got on the scoreboard first when Mayberry hit a two-run homer over the left-field wall with no outs in the top of the second. Mayberrys home run came after Laynce Nix drew a walk to open the inning. Catcher Erik Kratz followed with solo shot to the second level in left field, making it 3-0. “I love it when we manufacturer runs and play small ball, but home runs get you something quick,” Manuel said. “Im happy to get (runs) on the board real quick and thats the best way I know how to get them.” The Phillies added another run in the third when Ryan Howard hit a double, driving in Chase Utley, who led off with a single. The Brewers had a channce to cut into the lead in the bottom of the inning when Lucroy singled with two outs. Ronnie Lott Womens Jersey. Braun followed with a shot to the base of the left field wall, but Lucroy inexplicably stopped at second, and Braun was tagged out in a rundown. “I looked up to see where the ball was—which I shouldnt have done with two outs—but I looked up to see where the ball was and I just missed the bag,” Lucroy said. “I could have kept running but then they could have appealed it. Hindsight, I probably should have kept running because I asked Jimmy (Rollins) and Chase (Utley) if they saw it and they both said no.” Hamels said he thought Lucroy had started jogging because he assumed Brauns shot would clear the outfield fence. “I thought it was out,” Hamels said. “You cant assume anything and you just have to keep going. I got lucky on that one.” Brewers starting pitcher Mike Fiers (6-6) struggled for the second consecutive outing. He gave up four runs, walked four and hit a batter in five innings of work. He struck out five. “I dont think they had the curve ball in the back of their minds. I think they were cancelling it out since I wasnt throwing it for strikes,” Fiers said. “So they were really just sitting on the fastball.” Fiers was coming off his worst start of the season on Monday at Colorado when he lasted just two innings, giving up nine hits and eight earned runs. Before that, he had a 1.03 ERA in nine starts. “Youve got good hitters and when youre not on your game all the time, these guys, they dont miss too many mistakes, especially when youre not throwing your off-speed over the plate because they can then just sit on a fastball and they wait for you make a mistake with your fastball and they usually dont miss it,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. The Brewers entered Saturday nights contest having won eight consecutive games at Miller Park.
