Hamels pitches Phillies past Rockies 4-3 for 6th in a row

Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki reacts after swinging and missing Monday night.

DENVER – Cole Hamels pitched efficiently into the eighth inning and Odubel Herrera broke a tie in the sixth with a two-run double as the Philadelphia Phillies won their sixth consecutive game by beating the Colorado Rockies 4-3 Monday night.

Hamels (4-3) allowed one run and struck out seven in 7 1/3 sharp innings. The left-hander is 11-0 since 2014 when the Phillies score three or more runs for him.

Philadelphia is on its longest winning streak since a seven-game run in September 2012.

Herrera had the decisive hit when he sent a two-out fastball from Jordan Lyles (2-4) into right field to make it 3-1. Carlos Ruiz added a run-scoring single.

Earlier in the game, Herrera lost a routine fly in the lights that could’ve led to a big inning. But Hamels struck out two in a row to quell the rally.
