Hammel earned his ninth win despite a shaky start Tuesday against Milwaukee, as he allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Hammel has just one quality start in his past five outings and has seen his ERA rise from 3.35 to 3.79 in that span. He did induce 13 swinging strikes, but he also needed 104 pitches just to get through the fifth inning. Hammel still owns a sweet 4.1 K/BB, but he hasn't been on his game consistently for at least the past month.
