Hammel struck out four and did not walk a batter while allowing four runs on seven hits over five innings against the Reds on Wednesday afternoon.

EDGE Analysis

The bullpen took over after Hammel had thrown just 80 pitches, and it's become a trend recently that he's become more susceptible to an early hook. Hammel is currently positioned for two road starts next week, the first will come Tuesday against the Cardinals before a September 13 turn against the Phillies.
