Cole Hamels is preparing for Game 5 of NLDS

Cole Hamels' wife, Heidi, gave birth to their first son -- Caleb Michael -- on Friday, so he has been a father for a little more than two days. The game against the Rockies postponed Saturday because of cold weather and snow, Hamels will likely to pitch Game 5 on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. And Hamels is back in Philadelphia, working out on his own while the Phillies play in Denver.

Hamels allowed seven hits and four runs in five innings with the Rockies on Thursday in Game 2, but Manuel said he thought Hamels pitched better than he has imagined. "First of all, his performance the other day was not a bad performance," Manuel said. "We were behind, 4-0, when he left the game. I thought his stuff was pretty good, and actually I liked how he threw."
