MVP is back!

Cole Hamels was on the mound friday night for the Phillies against the Braves. After consecutive outings where he had to leave the game early he finally found his groove and was able to get through at least 5 innings. He was hit by a line drive 2 games ago in by Prince Fielder, one of the biggest power hitters in the league, in the 4th inning and in the last game he rolled his ankle while fielding a ball that was hit back to him and had to leave in the 4th inning again. Many analysts said that if the Phillies were going to repeat as World Series Champions Cole Hamels would have to be on his A game and not get any serious injuries. So far he has been able to go through the year without being seriously injured and on friday night he was able to get his first win of the season. This looks like just what Hamels needed to get a jump on repeating as a World Series MVP. So for Phillies fans everywhere this game was definitely one that showed much promise and could very well bring the fans' faith in Hamels back...for now.
