Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings of work to earn his third win of the season during Friday's 7-6 win over the Brewers.
Hammel struck out eight batters and walked three during the outing. His biggest mistake was serving up a solo home run to Khris Davis in the sixth inning. The eight strikeouts were a season high for Hammel.
Hammel (3-1) has not allowed more than three runs in five of his six starts this season and his ERA now stands at 3.52. His next expected start is scheduled for Wednesday against the Mets.
