Athletics pitcher Jason Hammel earned a win Tuesday, giving up seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out two in his team's 3-0 victory over the Rays.
It's not often you see a pitcher give up about two runners per inning and put all zeroes on the board, but Hammel (9-9) was able to end a four-game losing streak with his new team thanks to multiple fielder's choices to nab the lead runner as well as multiple double plays. He owns a 3.70 ERA and 118:37 K:BB ratio in 131 1/3 innings. Hammel is scheduled to face the Twins Sunday.
