Cubs starter Jason Hammel labored through five innings Friday, but wound up getting a no-decision when his team rallied in an eventual extra-inning loss.
Hammel gave up seven hits and four runs, although only two of them were earned. He was all over the plate during his 103-pitch outing, striking out four and walking three.
The five-inning outing was Hammel's shortest appearance since April 22, when he also gave up four runs in the same time frame.
"I was just out of sync today," Hammel said, per MLB.com. "I wasn't on top of the baseball like I have been, and it cost me a lot of deep counts and basically I battled for five innings. The fact we had a chance to still be in it and win was nice because it could've been a lot worse."
