The Phillies had a great week this time around, going 6-1 to move to 20 games over .500 and take a three game lead in the Wild Card hunt. Not only that, but they also moved to within a single game of the Atlanta Braves for first place in the National League East. So, it was a very good week, with several players standing out. However, one player went above and beyond this week, so he has to get the nod here. This week's Phillie of the Week is:
Cole Hamels
Simply put, Cole was everything and more this past week. In two starts, Hamels recorded two shutout victories, pitching 15 scoreless innings while striking out 13 batters and walking just three. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel good about Cole coming down the stretch this year. He's got his groove back.
