Cole Hamels pitched every bit like an ace on Tuesday with eight scoreless innings and eight strikeouts against the Mets, just two days before baseball's non-waiver trade deadline.
The Philadelphia Phillies' asking price for starting pitcher Cole Hamels is said to be ridiculously high heading into Thursday afternoon's non-waiver trade deadline, and the left-hander showed why with a gem on Tuesday night. Hamels struck out eight batters in eight scoreless innings in a 6-0 shutout of the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Hamels improved to 6-5 with the win and since the beginning of June is 5-2 with a 1.58 ERA in 12 starts, with 89 strikeouts and 24 walks in 85⅔ innings during that span.
The 30-year-old southpaw is due roughly $7.5 million for the remainder of 2014, plus $90 million for 2015-18 and at least a $6 million buyout of his 2019 vesting club option. Whether Tuesday night was his final start with the Phillies won't be known for a few days, but if it was Hamels went out on quite a high note.
There can only be one
Former Los Angeles Angels closer Troy Percival, from nearby Moreno Valley High School and who pitched for UC Riverside from 1987-90, was named head baseball coach at UCR on Tuesday.

Grand Chase
Phillies second baseman Chase Utley hit a grand slam in the seventh inning against Josh Edgin to support Hamels and break open a close game against the Mets, improving his already gaudy career numbers with the bases loaded.
