LOS ANGELES - The warning light on Cole Hamels' gas gauge was on. He was in the midst of an arduous 26-pitch seventh inning. There were two men on base and the Los Angeles Dodgers were threatening. Former National League MVP Jeff Kent was at the plate.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel went to the mound and looked Hamels in the eye. Ryan Madson was ready in the bullpen, but Manuel stuck with Hamels.
