Hamels sharp, Phillies rally past Mets again, 5-2

NEW YORK (AP) - May 28, 2011

Hamels (7-2) struck out a season-high 10 and walked none over seven innings to win his third straight outing and improve to 3-9 in 15 career games against the Mets. The left-hander had lost five consecutive starts against them.

This time, he recovered from a shaky start to retire his final 11 batters - five by strikeout - without allowing a ball out of the infield.

Jose Contreras worked a perfect eighth and Ryan Madson got three quick outs for his 11th save in as many tries. Philadelphia pitchers set down the last 17 Mets after Ronny Paulino's fourth-inning single.
