Hammel (4-0) allowed two runs in five innings to defeat the Pirates on Monday. He allowed five hits and walked one while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

The start was actually Hammel's worst of the season, as he had allowed a total of two runs all season before Monday's start. The righty has had some trouble with walks this year, but by allowing just 21 hits in 29 innings he has kept his WHIP at a very strong 1.07. Hammel's next start will come Saturday against the Nationals.
