Game 115 - Monday Night, August 13th in Miami
Record - 53-62, 4th Place, 18 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: Cole Hamels threw his second straight shutout on the way to his 13th win of the season and a 4-0 Phillies win.
What It Means: The Phils won their first ever game at the new Marlins ballpark and increased their lead over the last place Marlins to a game and a half. It's the little things.
What Went Right: Hamels allowed just seven hits and struck out five in his latest masterful performance. He's now thrown 22 consecutive scoreless innings. Juan Pierre enjoyed a three-hit game, including an RBI-triple.
Jimmy Rollins scored a pair of runs and he tied Larry Bowa for the most games played at shortstop for the Phillies with 1,730.
Featured Card: This is Hamels' well-earned All-Star card from this year's Chachi set. With the season all but over for the Phils, I've started thinking about which past Topps set's design I should use for the 2013 Chachi set. The short-list of contenders are: 1971, 1973, 1978, 1985 and 1988. Any thoughts?
