Hammel (4-0) gave up two runs in five innings to defeat the Pirates on Monday. He allowed five hits and walked one while striking out three.
The start was actually Hammel's worst of the season, as he had allowed a total of two runs all season before Monday's start. The righty has had some trouble with walks this year, but he's kept his WHIP at a very strong 1.07 by allowing just 21 hits in 29 innings. Hammel's next start will come Saturday against the Nationals.
