Hamels (4-3) allowed one run and struck out seven in 7 1/3 sharp innings. The left-hander is 11-0 since 2014 when the Phillies score three or more runs for him.
Philadelphia is on its longest winning streak since a seven-game run in September 2012.
Herrera had the decisive hit when he sent a two-out fastball from Jordan Lyles (2-4) into right field to make it 3-1. Carlos Ruiz added a run-scoring single.
Earlier in the game, Herrera lost a routine fly in the lights that could’ve led to a big inning. But Hamels struck out two in a row to quell the rally.
