Hammel (0-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks with one strikeout over 6.2 innings in a loss Wednesday to the Brewers.
Hammel has yet to land in the win column, but he's doing his job and eating innings for this Royals pitching staff. He now has three quality starts in five outings this season and is averaging a solid 6.4 innings per start. However, Hammel's season high in strikeouts is five -- he never topped seven in 2017 -- and he has a poor offense supporting him, so there isn't much to get excited about.
