Cole Hamels earned the MVP award in last year's World Series, capping a postseason in which he went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five starts.
It's safe to say the Phillies lefthander won't be the first back-to-back MVP winner in major-league history. Or the first player to amass more than one MVP award in his career since Reggie Jackson in 1973 and '77.
For the second straight postseason start, Hamels was knocked out with one out in the fifth inning.
After the Dodgers launched three homers and chased Hamels in Philadelphia's Game 5 clincher in the NL Championship Series, the southpaw started strongly Saturday night, holding the Yankees hitless into the fourth inning. Hamels' outing unraveled from that point in the Yankees' 8-5 victory.
