MILWAUKEE — Cole Hamels pitched into the seventh inning despite giving up back-to-back home runs and the Philadelphia Phillies extended the Milwaukee Brewers misery at home with a 4-2 victory Sunday night to complete a three-game sweep.
Hamels helped out on offense, too, delivering a sharp RBI double in the second.
Casey McGehee and Corey Hart homered for the Brewers, who also were swept at home by the Atlanta Braves this week.
Hamels (4-2) held the Brewers scoreless until McGehee homered the sixth. Hart followed with a solo shot of his own, cutting the Phillies lead to 3-2. But that was all the Brewers could muster off Hamels, who gave up six hits with three walks and three strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings.
