Orioles starting pitcher Jason Hammel was in line a win and a quality start when he entered the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels, but left with a no-decision.
Hammel gave up a leadoff single and a walk to open the seventh, ending his game. Both runners came around to score, costing Hammel the quality start and a chance to win, as the Orioles' bullpen imploded, in a 9-5 loss.
Hammel was charged with four earned runs in six innings, while allowing seven hits and two walks. He struck out just one, while throwing 72 of 104 pitches for strikes. His ERA rose to 5.24 with the outing. Hammel will make his next scheduled start Monday against the Tigers.
