Cole Hamels returned to the mound after a five-month hiatus to allow only two hits in a complete game shutout against the Giants.

Hamels, who also struck out nine in the win, spent the past five months on the completely-abled list with undisclosed wellness.

“There wasn’t anything wrong with the guy,” said Charlie Manuel. “He was healthy and fully able to pitch but almost felt a little too good after we won the World Series. We had no choice but to CL him.”

The Phils will look for more of the same success from the lefthander as he works his way back after the long layoff.
