Hamels (4-0) struck out five over 7.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Saturday, allowing just four hits and walking one.
Hamels handcuffed the Royals all night, cruising into the eighth inning before allowing a Whit Merrifield double on his 99th and final pitch. It marks the second consecutive start in which the southpaw has thrown 7.2 scoreless innings and lowered his ERA to 1.26 on the month while raising his K:BB to 12:1. The veteran starter has clearly regained his form after missing nearly two months with an oblique injury, a trend he'll look to build upon in his next scheduled start, Thursday against the Orioles.
