Hammel (7-5) struck out three and gave up nine hits - five of which left the yard - 10 earned runs and two walks over four innings in a 10-2 loss to the Mets on Friday.
It was a nightmarish outing for the veteran righty, who gave up a pair of homers in two different innings and a 435-shot to rookie Brandon Nimmo in the fourth as well. James Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera took him deep in the second, while Yoenis Cespedes and Cabrera did the honors in the fifth. Hammel has seen his ERA rise in each of his last three starts, all losses. He's dropped four straight decisions overall, and his ERA is now at a season-high 3.45. The 33-year-old will try to reverse course when he takes the mound next Wednesday against the Reds.
