Hamels was coming off another sparkling effort on Aug. 29 in his hometown ofSan Diego, when he allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings. Before that,the left-hander had gone 0-3 with five no-decisions in his previous eightoutings.
A Milwaukee miscommunication led to the game’s only run. Center fielderLorenzo Cain(notes) and left fielder Ryan Braun converged on a Shane Victorino(notes) flyball, but it dropped between them for a double, despite Braun’s last-minutelunge.
Victorino moved to third on a Raul Ibanez(notes) groundout and scored on CarlosRuiz’s(notes) grounder to short.
Hamels took it from there, allowing only two runners to reach second base.In his final inning, Hamels walked Braun and surrendered a single to PrinceFielder(notes), but escaped by retiring Casey McGehee(notes), Cain and Alcides Escobar(notes).
Jose Contreras(notes) worked the eighth and Ryan Madson(notes) worked the ninth for hisfifth save in nine chances. Closer Brad Lidge(notes) was unavailable after pitching inthree straight games.
The Phillies recorded their 17th shutout of the season, while Milwaukee wasshut out for the 11th time.
