Cole Hamels made his second start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday afternoon in Richmond. For an encore to his 7-inning, 3-hit, 14-strikeout debut in Triple-A, Hamels pitched a complete game shutout in a 5-0 victory. His line? Well, see for yourself:
9 IP, 2 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, 12 strikeouts. He threw 114 pitches of which 76 were for strikes.
Yeah, that's sick.
So if you're counting, here's Hamels' stats for his two Triple-A starts:
16 IP, 5 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, 26 strikeouts and a 2-0 record. He has thrown 212 pitches (142 strikes).
Now here's the big question: when does he make his debut for the Phillies?
