PHILADELPHIA -- With the old Cole Hamels and the new Domonic Brown leading the
way, the Philadelphia Phillies are .
Steven Hauschka Seahawks Jersey .500 again.
Now, theyre looking to push forward. Hamels had a season-high 11 strikeouts in
seven dominant innings, Brown hit another homer and the Phillies beat the Miami
Marlins 6-1 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep and even their record
for the first time since they were 6-6. "Getting back to .500 is key to starting
over," Hamels said. "We want to keep the same approach weve had, win series and
fight for first place." Hamels (2-9) allowed one run and four hits to snap a
personal six-game losing streak. The three-time All-Star lefty and 2008 World
Series MVP hadnt won since April 28 at the New York Mets. Jimmy Rollins hit a
go-ahead RBI single with two outs in the seventh off A.J. Ramos (0-2). Ryan
Howard followed with a two-run triple, diving headfirst into third. Then Brown
went downtown to make it 6-1. Brown has 10 homers in the last 12 games and leads
the NL with 18. "It feels good just trying to do my little part," Brown said.
"Ryan came up big. Thats why he gets paid the big bucks. We have a good lineup.
Hopefully it catches and itll be a lot of fun." The Phillies (30-30) have their
first four-game winning streak and will try to go above .500 for the first time
when they open a four-game series at Milwaukee on Thursday night. Hamels has
been a hard-luck pitcher this season, and his record isnt a true indicator of
the way hes pitched. The Phillies havent given him much run support and he didnt
pitch with a lead between his third and 11th start. Over those nine outings, he
was 1-8 with a 3.24 ERA. "I was trying to be too fine, trying to make perfect
pitches," Hamels said. It was 1-1 when Hamels was lifted for pinch-hitter Delmon
Young with one out in the seventh. Ben Revere followed with a single. One out
later, Rollins gave Philadelphia the lead. "Anytime you get two-out hits that
score runs, it shows you can hit when the game is on the line," manager Charlie
Manuel said. "We had a lot of life in the dugout." Plate umpire John Hirschbeck
left the game in the bottom of the seventh after a pitch missed by catcher
Miguel Olivo appeared to hit him in the right hand. Hirschbeck immediately
slumped to the ground and walked off the field after a few minutes. He was
replaced behind the plate by second base umpire Jim Reynolds. Derek Dietrich hit
a solo homer off Hamels in the fourth. Marlins starter Jacob Turner allowed one
run and four hits in six innings. Hes 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts. "Thats
two in a row now," manager Mike Redmond said. "Im very happy with him. He goes
down to the minors, gets his work in, comes back and pitches well. Im pumped for
him." The Phillies gave Hamels a rare 1-0 lead when Erik Kratz doubled in John
Mayberry Jr. in the second. Mayberry started in right field for Young a day
after hitting a tying homer in the 10th inning and a grand slam to win it in the
11th. He was the first player to homer twice in extra innings since Baltimores
Mike Young in 1987. NOTES: Hamels recorded his 23rd career double-digit
strikeout game and second this season. ... Two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy
Halladay is optimistic hell pitch this season for the Phillies after shoulder
surgery last month. "In my mind, theres no doubt that I wont be back this year,"
Halladay said. "There are still a lot of variables and unknowns. But my gut
feeling is that I will be back and I can tell you that I feel a lot better than
I thought at this point."... The Phillies are 9-4 vs. the last-place Marlins and
6-0-1 in series vs. Miami since being swept in a three-game set last June 29 to
July 1 at Marlins Park. ... Marlins starting pitchers have a 2.12 ERA in 13
games vs. Philadelphia this season. ... Tyler Cloyd (1-2, 4.76) opens a
four-game series for the Phillies in Milwaukee on Thursday night. ... The
Marlins are off Thursday before going to New York for a three-game set against
the Mets, who were swept in Miami last weekend.

. -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple
question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a
team 14 games over .The Maximum Fighting Championship will be without rising
star and lightweight champion Graham "Cracka" Spencer for an extended period due
to injury. Spencer originally suffered the injury in training camp prior to his
title fight against Mukai Maromo at MFC 36 – a bout in which the Nanaimo, B.C.,
product would submit his foe to claim the MFCs lightweight belt. Spencer (10-1)
put the difficulties aside to secure a third-round submission victory, but the
pain never went away. In the end, it was discovered the Spencer fought with a
torn labrum in his right shoulder. "I couldnt wrestle for the last month of my
camp," recalled Spencer. "After the fight I went to the doctor and told him
about how I was having trouble and he thought I had a bulging disc in my neck so
I got a bunch of tests done but nothing was wrong. "So I got my shoulder x-rayed
and it was separated. I did six weeks of rehab for that and tried to go back to
training but it still didnt feel right. Finally I just went and got an MRI and
thats how they found the tear." Its unclear just how long Spencer will be
sidelined. First and foremost, he needs to get on the operating table and get
surggery to repair the tear.
Patrick Kerney Seahawks Jersey. "Im very
frustrated," offered Spencer. "The first surgeon I talked to had a two-year
waiting list. Ive got a consult with a different doctor on July 31. "If I dont
like what he says Im going to just get it done privately. For now, Im just
working to get enough hours so I can get disability while Im rehabbing. It
doesnt really bug me too bad unless I wrestle or lift weights but there no way
it can hold up to training every day." The injury shelves Spencers desire to not
only defend the lightweight belt but also his attempt to become the MFCs first
double-belt holder with his quest to win the featherweight title as well.
Spencer is currently on a five-fight winning streak which includes two wins over
Maromo and a decision victory over Shane Nelson at MFC 35. "It couldnt have
happened at a worse time," said Spencer, who was training with Team Alpha Male.
"I was going to rent a place in Sacramento so I could be training there all the
time and my wife could come down when she was available. "Plus the MFC has been
getting me so much recognition. Now Im going to have to build it all up again."
