Thanks to an offensive outburst from his teammates, Jason Hammel didn't have to do too much to pick up his seventh win of the season Sunday, as the Cubs starter pitched 6 1/3 solid innings to earn the victory.
Hammel gave up six hits during the outing, while allowing two earned runs, one of which came on a solo home run. Hammel struck out eight batters and walked just one.
After a string of three straight no-decisions, Hammel (7-5) picked up his second win after a three-game losing streak.
