Cole Hamels was again solid, going 6.2 and giving up just two runs, both solo homers, in a low-key 4-2 win in Milwaukee. J.C. Romero came on for the 9th and retired the side. Again, sub-subs Hoover and Valdez were very much part of the action. So was Shane Victorino, who is loving to hit with men in scoring position this year.
For the floundering Brewers, it was the second time this week that they were swept at home. Ouch.
Pending a physical exam, Jimmy Rollins is slated to return tonight. If he does, Wilson Valdez, who is out of options, will most likely be designated for assignment. It's too bad because his play this weekend put all those double plays he kept hitting into just about out of mind. He got hot at the end of his stint with the Phillies and leaves a good impression.
Oh yes, the Flyers took it to the Habs 6-0 in game one last night in Philadelphia. Earlier, the Blackhawks stole one from the Sharks 2-1 in San Jose.
