Hamels’ next start pushed back to Friday
Herrera also made a falling catch for the final out of the game. Sources say they would be surprised if a trade was completed before Tuesday, even in the wake of Hamels’ no-hitter Saturday against the Cubs.

“Today was vintage Cole Hamels”, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. It’s a nice feeling.
It shouldn’t surprise us by now to see the Diamondbacks get active when no one thought they would. He also had an RBI single in Philadelphia’s three-run fourth. Earlier, he retired 11 straight in one stretch.
But as he showed on Saturday, he’s got plenty of fuel left in his 31-year-old tank.
“Just a surreal moment”, Hamels said. “(The no-hitter) was hard to follow up. “I’m telling you it goes away”.
Hamels, 30, has been the most sought-after arm in a saturated pitching market this summer, in large part because he comes with three years of control.
The last time Rodriguez hit three home runs in a game was August 14, 2010, at Kansas City.
With the game out of hand, catcher David Ross pitched a flawless ninth in the Cubs’ 11-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
He definitely increased his value, I would imagine.
“Give the Phillies credit”.
“They absolutely stung everything”, Maddon said. He can’t help that the team forgets how to score runs much of the time he is on the mound. The left-hander allowed five hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out nine and didn’t walk a batter.
Miguel Gonzalez took a shutout into the eighth inning to win for the third time in his last four starts for Baltimore.
Hamels is owed approximately $9 million for the remainder of the 2015 season and is set to earn $23.5 million in each of the 2016-’18 seasons.
Plus, Ross did his best Babe Ruth impression on Hall of Fame induction day and launched a home run in the bottom of the ninth. He has 18 homers on the year. Hamels’ was the third no-hitter in the major leagues this season, after the San Francisco Giants’ Chris Heston and Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer. He has been mentioned prominently in trade talks ahead of Friday’s non-waiver deadline.
“I guess I’m pretty valuable to them right now”, Hamels said the Phils game last night as stated by MLB.com. That’s a good sign. “I just try to throw it and hope they hit at somebody”.
The Phillies jumped to a 3-0 first-inning lead before Hammel got anyone out.
The Phillies’ seventh win in eight games since the all-star break was their top pitcher’s first victory since May 23.
