Orioles starter Jason Hammel turned in a quality performance as he picked up his third win of the season Thursday night against the Athletics.

Hammel (3-1), who made his fifth start, surrendered two unearned runs in the second inning for his only damage of the night. The right-hander was charged with those two unearned runs and three hits in six innings of work in a 10-2 victory. He struck out two and walked two on 104 pitches, 59 for strikes.

Hammel has allowed just six earned runs in his last three outings. He has lowered his ERA from 4.34 to 3.82 over that span. He is scheduled to start Tuesday at Seattle. He allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings of work in his only meeting last season with the Mariners.
