SAN DIEGO -- Cole Hamels came home to Southern California, pitched a scoreless inning in front of his loved ones, and his All-Star experience lived up to the expectations.
There were a couple of exceptions.
Hamels, who grew up in San Diego and starred at Rancho Bernardo High School, tripped in his hotel room at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday morning and was in the hospital getting stitches at 5 a.m. Several hours later, he was locked out of Petco Park for 30 minutes when he chose the wrong entrance to the stadium following the All-Star Game Red Carpet Show presented by Chevrolet.
