In Houston Tuesday, the HomeSide had a matchup of Jay Happ and Cole Hamels, and it was the Astros lefty who came out on top in a 5-2 Astros' win. Happ was still not himself, but he got through 6 innings and allowed just 1 run, 4 hits, 4 walks (again) to improve to 6-15 on the season. Hamels went 5, and gave up 5 runs (4 earned) on 9 hits and a walk, striking out 6. The Phillies runs came on home runs by Hunter Pence (#20) and Carlos Ruiz (his 9th). Mike Schwimer got through a scoreless inning despite allowing 2 hits and hitting a batter.
The win for Happ was #84 for the HomeSide.
