Cole Hamels said there was nothing special about holding his hometown San Diego Padres to four hits on Friday night. Fans in two full sections at Petco Park thought otherwise, giving Hamels a standing ovation as he walked off the mound after the eighth inning in the Philadelphia Phillies' 2-0 win over the punchless Padres. "It's just another place. Nicer weather," said Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP who went to San Diego's Rancho Bernardo High School. "I like pitching in any ballpark," Hamels said. "Truly, I pitch well in small ballparks, big ballparks, good weather, bad weather. It's just coming out and trying to get the team. It's not necessarily how big the ballpark is, it's who you're facing. I've been able to do well against certain teams, and the Padres are on that list. Thank God Adrian left." That was a reference to three-time All-Star Adrian Gonzalez, who was traded from San Diego to Boston in December.
